- Identify and develop learning and growth opportunities to ensure successful program completion, providing referrals where appropriate.
- Forecast, plan, and schedule special events appropriate to learning stages, to both allow for the acquisition of cultural and professional competencies and foster appreciation and belonging.
- Lead collaborative efforts among ATEP staff to promote the program and recruit students.
- Maintain awareness of students' progress to support program completion.
