This presentation will feature no-nonsense discussion about stigmas surrounding 2-year college and career pathways. This open and honest conversation includes talk about the job market outlook, earning potential, scholarships, and real-life success stories. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and give feedback. Attendees will also receive digital access to career exploration opportunities, college pathways, and scholarship resource libraries.
