FUTURE PATHWAYS: EXPLORING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES  TO CAREER SUCCESS

​

February 27, 2027

​

The event culminates in participants' academic learning, career interests, hands-on demonstrations, and exposure to academic-journey options for the workforce.  It will include colleges, schools, entrepreneurs, interactive stations, workshops, and more.

Most focus on the college journey and exclude the vocational journey into the workforce. We are giving students an opportunity to explore educational options. This event focuses on Middle school (Grade 8) and High school students, as well as individuals seeking ways to enter the workforce. The focus is on helping students achieve more than a high school diploma. Some under-resourced communities did not choose the certification option because they had limited access to information. 

​

This event introduces students to high-salary careers while helping them explore future opportunities. This event is for anyone who may not be college-bound and wants to explore other academic pathways.
