Helping every student in your TRIO program build the skills they need to succeed long-term is a challenging and time-consuming task. It’s even harder when anxiety and stress are at all-time highs. Add in your long list of responsibilities and the pressure of APR requirements, and it can feel like the system is stacked against you.
And then there’s that nagging question in the back of your mind:
Are you absolutely sure you’re setting your students up for success after they leave your TRIO program?

These challenges aren’t just frustrating—they’re emotional roadblocks that, if left unaddressed, can quietly derail even your most promising students.
“As an educator for over 30 years, I can honestly say that Conover has the tools I have waited for to instruct and enhance my students’ skills for their future.“

Have unused funds from a grant?
If you’re looking for a meaningful and impactful way to use remaining TRIO funds before they expire, emotional intelligence training is one of the smartest investments you can make. It aligns directly with TRIO’s mission to support student success, and it equips your participants with lifelong skills they’ll carry into college, careers, and beyond. Instead of scrambling to spend leftover funds on one-off items, you can put those dollars toward something that leaves a lasting impact—and ensures you don’t lose funding next year for not using what’s available now.

Some of the places Conover tools are used
“As you know, we are using the Conover program in our weekly workshops. One of my clients in the workshop today shared that he got a job and continued to say he felt that half of it was due to the assistance he has been receiving from the program. He stated more specifically that half of it was due to the guidance he received through the “Preparing For The Interview” segment of the Conover Workplace Readiness series.”
Why Conover Online Works – 3 Steps to Improving Outcomes
1. Conover Online quickly and accurately assesses the needs of the students you work with.
Clearly understanding your own abilities is the first step in any self-improvement journey. Being able to accurately and honestly assess the abilities of your students can be difficult, which is where an evidence-based assessment system like Conover Online can help establish a solid baseline.
2. Each individual receives a custom success plan tailored to their specific needs which Conover Online automatically delivers.
Each student works on their individualized education plan independently, developing the soft skills they will need to be successful in their post-secondary goal placement. Conover Online delivers the instruction automatically based on their assessment results, using video-modeling to effectively teach the skills they need.
3. Your students get the skills they need to be successful and you look like a genius.
Conover Online delivers the customized learning plans to the individuals that you work with and the data you need to know that it’s working. Their learning is tracked in an online management system so you can see live updates of their progress and feel confident you’re helping them develop the skills they need to be successful – in college and beyond.
Don’t let things continue to be harder than they need to be. Stop wondering if your students will be successful after they leave your program or whether they can access your distance learning tools. Quit wasting precious time and get rid of the stress that comes from having to manually collect and manage data for your APRs.
