YTC College Link Program

The College is piloting a new program this year, YTC College Link, which is an outreach program that provides the “link” to YTC for first-time freshman. The program provides high school seniors comprehensive support to students who want to continue their education at York Technical College in either a technical field or transfer to a four-year college or university. The program will provide seniors personalized guidance through the enrollment process, ensuring a smooth transition from high school to York Technical College. At the high school campus, the program offers:

· One-on-one connection with graduating seniors
· Individualized support to students who want to continue their education in either a technical field or transfer to a four-year college or university
· Information on financial aid and transfer information to senior colleges and universities in South Carolina
· COMPASS (YTC placement test) information, testing, and test results evaluation
· Smooth transition from high school to college through comprehensive one-on-one enrollment services including first semester course planning and registration

All services listed above will be available to all high schools, except course planning/registration on the high school campus. York Comprehensive High School, South Pointe High School, Lewisville High School, and Buford High School are piloting this component of the program.

Students can take advantage of these personalized support services before graduating high school!

We appreciate the work of our two new counselors, Carrie Eversole (left) and Lydia Moore (right), for leading this new initiative.
