Abstract

College and Career Readiness (CCR) is an educational model that determines the skills, behaviors, and knowledge that high school students require in order to be successful in higher education or jobs. In Colombia there are few studies related to university preparation, therefore, this article aims to present the conceptual model, recent research in the field, and topics for a research agenda that incorporates data from samples of Colombian students.
