How to get the students involve? Most of our students work and have families.How long a Seminar should last?

Where I work, we do not have a real Support Service that can assist the Intructor in Retention of students.The Instructors work in conjunction with the DOE and the Administrative Director.In some cases it is not enough, especially with students whose problems can not be solve easily. What do you suggest?

I agree. Mentoring can be very effective in students that are goal oriented and want a change in their lives. Do you think it would be helpful with "trouble" students?

Does mentoring our students is a good way to improve retention?
