Training Modules

The Find the Fit training modules provide background information, tools, activities, and materials to use with students. The modules provide guidance on how to incorporate information and resources into existing college advising activities, as well as describe how to use the semi-customized student materials to encourage students to actively engage in their college search. The modules draw on findings from rigorous research studies highlighting strategies with the potential to improve outcomes for students.

The nine training modules can be viewed either in sequence or individually. We highly recommend viewing Module 1: Introduction to Find the Fit before viewing other modules.
