about us

Finishing a post-secondary education program is critical to a student’s future earnings. 

Yet, too many well-qualified students are discouraged from pursuing postsecondary education by avoidable barriers such as a lack of information regarding the admissions process, limited understanding of the availability of and access to financial aid assistance, and the lack of affordable test prep courses.  In Clarke County, the high school graduation rate is 74.6%, while the college-going rate is less than 40%. With the high school counselor-to-student ratio over 450:1, students are not receiving the one-on-one, intensive postsecondary education counseling required to be successful.  

College Factory was founded to supplement college counseling offered in Clarke County schools and enhance Georgia’s workforce development by providing individualized mentoring to facilitate students’ ability to navigate the complex and often intimidating maze of “college prep,” including technical and vocational education. 


Our Mission:  To inspire and prepare youth to achieve their post-secondary work and educational goals.

Our Vision:   To ensure that all youth in the North Georgia region have the confidence and resources to pursue their professional dreams successfully.  ​
