Equitable Empowerment: Scaling Future-Readiness with Tech
Description:
Austin, we have a problem: the majority of high school students & recent grads say they don’t feel prepared to make postsecondary education/career choices. This is even more pressing for students in underserved communities without access to resources that match their talents and passions to careers. The result? Kids lack clarity on next steps for their futures. But free, tech-enabled solutions can help us scale access to career readiness resources and opportunities, offering a lifeline to kids in every pocket of the country. Hear from leaders innovating to bring these solutions to life!
