Welcome to Achieve at Highline College!
Achieve is a comprehensive post-secondary transition program that includes credit and non-credit classes, intensive advising, involvement in campus life, work-based learning, and assistance with job placement. All Achieve students work with an intensive advisor and career specialist to draft and implement a comprehensive, individual plan for college and career. Specific courses, campus activities, and work-based learning experiences are determined based on skills and competencies needed for students to achieve their identified goal(s).
Achieve was initially funded as one of the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) through the Office of Postsecondary Education serving as a model demonstration program for Washington (2010-2020).
Achieve is no longer accepting applications for Fall 2024.
