Questions
Questions people actually ask.
Does Skhillz guarantee admission, scholarships, employment, or a test score?
No. Skhillz provides preparation, planning, instruction, feedback, and organizational support. Final decisions remain with colleges, scholarship organizations, testing agencies, employers, and other third parties.
When should college planning begin?
Career and interest exploration can begin in middle school. Detailed college and financial planning often becomes more active during high school. The appropriate starting point depends on the student's age and goals.
Can you complete applications or essays for the student?
Skhillz can guide, coach, review, and provide feedback. Applications and essays must accurately represent the student's own experiences, thinking, and work.
Do you help students considering trades or certifications?
Yes. College is one pathway. Services may include apprenticeships, trade programs, career credentials, military preparation, workforce entry, and entrepreneurship.
Where we are strict
First of May does not move.
It is set nationally, it is the day a place is given away, and it is the date this program exists to make sure nobody drives past.
If this is not quite it
Applying, retraining and job hunting are near neighbors with different work in them.
Pick the one that matches what you are actually doing this month. The rest will still be here.
Building a college application plan
College planning and applications
Scholarships and financial aid readiness when paying for it is the harder question than getting in.
Changing careers
Career and credential pathways
Adult and continuing education when the qualification has to come before the application.
Getting help with a resume and interviews
Digital skills, AI and workforce readiness when the online application itself is where it stops.
