I'll talk about how they helped me.
At first we had planned to search for a job, but that didn't work out due to the fact that most jobs I was capable of doing I was underqualified for. They helped me to explore all my options regarding post-secondary education.
Once we had decided that university would be the best bet for me, we went through an action plan, which really helped to make it clear that going to school was what I wanted to do. I was kind of on the fence before we went through that plan, and once we went through that I knew without a doubt that was best for me.
From when we made that decision, they helped with everything along the way, such as applying to the school itself, and for student loans, finding my living accommodation, and even registering for classes. They were very helpful throughout the entire process.
I don't think I could have done it without them, or at least it would have been much more difficult.
