The Career Awareness & Mentorship Program (CAMP) is a inquiry-based initiative developed by the ENCORE program in partnership with Rio Grande Valley (RGV) school districts to provide students the ultimate college readiness experience.

The ENCORE CAMP has been designed as a career mapping and mentorship institute to successfully prepare students for higher education and the workforce. The ENCORE CAMP provides students with college readiness sessions, rigorous hands-on activities and interactive tours with college student mentors. The event concludes with a comprehensive bilingual college readiness workshop for parents, in which they explore the importance of higher education while receiving valuable tools and guidance to adequately support their children throughout the college readiness process.

The goals of the ENCORE CAMP are to:

• Promote the importance of higher education and college readiness
• Increase student awareness of different career opportunities across diverse industries
• Motivate students and parents to work collaboratively with schools in the college readiness process
