Iowa College Access Network rebrands, to expand online services
The Iowa College Access Network, a statewide nonprofit that provides college and career planning and financial aid assistance, announced that it is changing its name to ICAN. “The transition from the Iowa College Access Network to ICAN is reflective of the educational industry’s progression from college access to the broader scope of education and career training, and embraces the changes in the way Iowa youth now prepare for life after high school,” ICAN President Rob Miller said in a release. The organization will also expand its services this year with new technology-based, interactive programs with the goal that every Iowan will have increased access to personal advising services for career assessments, education and training selection, and individualized college financing guidance. Expanded services will include interactive, web-based seminars and advising sessions, as well as on-demand library of resources that can be live-streamed.
