Consulting Services

Peak Education and Basecamp College Counseling work to increase our impact through consulting with counseling departments in schools, school districts and other organizations. We bring experienced college counselors and former admissions staff to assess and develop strong postsecondary readiness programs. We work to increase the capacity of schools to educate their students about career pathways, the college admission process, finding match schools and earning scholarship funding to ensure that students’ educational choices are expanded. Workshops for students and professionals cover key topics such as completing admission, financial aid and scholarship applications; essay writing workshops; and admission case studies.

We also use our facilitation skills to work with organizations to develop their college counseling and postsecondary readiness tools and to increase their capacity for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. To learn more about consulting opportunities, see below. Click here to submit an interest form or contact Carlos Jimenez directly at Carlos@peakedu.org.

Charter School & Homeschool Network Postsecondary Support

We can also help to develop your services by providing similar activities included with our Counselor Corps, postsecondary consulting, and admission literacy work.

Corporate Product Development

For those who have a great idea that could further postsecondary or career readiness but need support in developing your work, business model or processes, we can help. Our experience ranges from working with a Fortune 500 company’s research and development team, to providing advice to smaller vendors as they create their products. We tailor our services to meet the needs of the client and utilize our network of education professionals to support this work depending on the client’s needs.

Diversity Equity and Inclusion Focus Groups

Through our own expertise and network of consultants, we can work with your organization to develop thoughtful plans to ensure that all learners in your environment can thrive. We take an asset-based approach that seeks to provide insights into the experiences of the members of your community and to understand what learning opportunities are present. Similar to our other work, we partner with our clients to create a process that meets the organization’s needs and is in alignment with your priorities and community.
