For employers, recruiters, educators, and partners, this event is an opportunity to:

-Strengthen workforce development efforts through early, meaningful engagement
-Be part of a community-wide effort to prepare students for life after graduation

The impact extends far beyond one day.
When adults, educators, employers, and community leaders show up, the students see possibility!
When we collaborate across sectors, communities grow stronger.
When we invest early - everyone benefits.

If you care about workforce readiness, economic growth, and student success, your voice and presence matter!
