The methodology
P.A.T.H. is not an acronym. It is a methodology.
Each letter represents a structured phase designed to move a student from confusion to clarity, from curiosity to commitment, and from potential to plan.
P
— Profile
Students map their strengths, values, interests, and lived experience.
A
— Assess
Students survey every post-secondary option with equal weight and zero pressure.
T
— Tally
Students build a real financial picture including true cost, available aid, and a debt-avoidance funding stack.
H
— Hatch
Students produce a documented action plan with deadlines, applications, and next steps.
The result is not just a plan. It is a student who knows who they are, where they are going, and exactly how they are going to pay for it.
02
Assess
What's out there?
We survey the landscape: four year colleges, two year programs, trade schools, apprenticeships, and direct to career options.
03
Tally
What does it cost, and who pays?
Students build a real picture of cost, aid, scholarships, and ROI for each path they're considering.
04
Hatch
What's the plan?
We turn possibilities into a personal action plan: funding stack, applications, deadlines, recommenders, essays, and next steps.
05
Commit
Let's go.
Students leave with a chosen direction, a funded plan, a resume in progress, and a community standing behind them.
Why a cohort?
Nobody figures this out alone.
Big decisions feel different when you're sitting beside other students wrestling with the same questions. PATH groups are intentionally small, local, and led by guides who know Solano County.
Students leave with more than a plan. They leave with a network.
