Ending the Debate Around College vs Career

Mar 5, 2019

3:30pm – 4:30pm CT

What does success look like in adulthood? And what knowledge and skills do students need to get there? Imagine an education system focused on academics and technical skills as well as a sense of identity, wayfinding, critical thinking, and creativity. We need to end the debate around whether college is right for everyone and start creating stronger college AND career pathways. Join us to discuss how Pre-K-12 & higher ed can evolve to better prepare students to truly lead choice-filled lives.
