Bouffard focus on the developmental tasks and competencies that young people need to master in order to plan for and succeed in higher education. These include identity development, articulating aspirations and expectations, forming and maintaining strong peer and adult relationships, motivation and goal-setting, and self-regulatory skills, such as planning.The authors challenge the predominant approach of giving young people information and leaving it to them to figure out how to apply it.

Rather than treating young people as passive recipients of services, the authors argue that adults can engage them as active agents in the construction of their own futures.
