College Coach^®

Working parents with children from newborns to high-schoolers are concerned and stressed about their children’s education.

Research shows that nearly half of all parents are not confident they'll save enough for their children’s college education.* They’re also worried about whether their children will succeed in school. Add to that a surge of college applicants (nearly a million more than five years ago) vying for a stagnant number of spaces, and you’ve got a significant family and personal issue that fuels employee stress and drains their time, energy, and productivity.

More than a million employees have access to College Coach services today to help with a range of challenges related to their children’s college education.
