3.       PLAN points out academic strengths and areas where improvement is needed and lets students know if they’re on track for college.

4.       PLAN helps them find careers that match their interest and even helps connect them with colleges interested in them.

5.       PLAN, also includes a 72-interest inventory that asks questions about the types of work tasks students would or would not like to do.
