Position Summary:Michigan College Access Network (MCAN), in close partnership with Michigan colleges and universities, seeks to help more Michigan students pursue postsecondary education. MCAN’s College Completion Corps will place full-time AmeriCorps members on community college and other college campuses to supplement campus efforts to increase persistence and completion of first-generation college-going students, low-income students, and students of color. This is a grant-funded position that aims to address inequities in student success.

Working in partnership with professional campus staff, coaches will organize learning sessions for small groups, coordinate 1:1 meetings with students, and provide reminders of key activities (such as course registration deadlines and FAFSA completion workshops) via technology prompts. The purpose of this program is to assist students with their acclimation to campus, build their knowledge of campus systems and resources, and help them successfully persist to completion. Coaches will receive robust training in all the areas; no previous experience is necessary.
In their role, coaches also receive extensive professional development to help them determine what is the next step in their own career path.
