SXSW EDU 2024
Paving New Roads from Education to Career
Description:
Join ASA and JFF as we present new groundbreaking research understanding the lived experiences and mindset of students on degree pathways as well as the people that influence them the most. During the session, you will hear students share their experiences as they chose to forge ahead on a nontraditional higher education pathway and those supporting students, including educators and caregivers, to understand lessons in how to help students achieve success. Panelists explore challenges and successes that young people encounter in their education to career journey.
