The integrated services strategy that is central to the WSSN model was developed to help low-income students reach financial stability and move up the economic ladder by promoting an innovative framework that integrates and bundles three distinct but related services:

•   Education and employment advancement
•   Income and work supports
•   Financial services and asset building

Strategies that ensure the scalability and sustainability of this integrated support services model help colleges build their capacity to support a student-focused culture in each of ATD’s Institutional Capacity Framework areas. These strategies reflect the collective learnings of WSSN colleges, state partners, and ATD facilitators.
