The LA-ePortal, Secondary to Postsecondary and Beyond, is a Lifelong Learning Education Portal. It has been developed by the Board of Regents, with input from the Department of Education, the Department of Labor and other state agencies to provide a means by which a student can plan and monitor his or her academic progress from middle school through postsecondary and into the workforce. The web-based ePortal, which will serve as an educational and career planning tool, has the potential to revolutionize student engagement and articulation. It will provide current and future students with information on appropriate academic preparation, postsecondary options, financial aid, job opportunities and workforce training. Ideally, use of the ePortal will facilitate academic and career pursuits along a continuum of lifelong learning to assist students in the many transitions they will encounter. During this LA ePortal training session, Super Summer Institute participants will learn about this system and how to utilize it with students. NOTE: There will be six, ½-day sessions available, specific time frames are listed on Coursewhere.
