Important distinction
Onward connects people; it does not enroll or award credentials.
Schools, testing organizations, diploma providers, employers, and training organizations make their own eligibility, enrollment, hiring, and credential decisions. Ready Set Onward helps people understand options and choose who may contact them. Public pages do not expose private learner records or a purchasable student list.
