The new College Readiness Now program, in partnership with the New Jersey Council of County Colleges (NJCCC) and all 19 of New Jersey’s community colleges, helps identify and address the remediation needs of graduating high school students prior to their enrollment in college. Working in more than 60 high schools across the state, our community colleges tested more than 4,000 high school juniors and seniors. The colleges enrolled 921 students in spring and summer bridge programs designed to help the student improve their English and math skills while still in high school. As a result, 440 students achieved college ready status in English and/or mathematics upon successful completion of the program.
