This year's College & Career Readiness Conferences are regionally focused and aimed at preparing Indiana's youth for success by equipping them with experiences, degrees, certifications, and employability skills tailored to industry needs. Dive into strategies for supporting Gen Z and Gen Alpha, ensuring they have the tools and resources necessary to thrive in the workforce. The more aligned we are in preparing Indiana’s youth for current and future industry needs, the greater their chances for successful postsecondary outcomes. The 2024 College & Career Readiness Regional Conferences are also a chance to build college and career readiness networks in your community and learn from programs across the state about how to prepare our youth for fulfilling careers.

With identical speakers and content at each venue, you're free to choose the date and location that suits your schedule best!

In recognition of your extraordinary work,
scholarships covering the full registration cost
will be provided automatically to all Indiana youth-serving professionals.

Learn multifaceted and evolving strategies of college and career readiness by:

  • Improving proactive career awareness and coaching.
  • Expanding access to rigorous academic offerings and increasing the college-going rates for all Indiana students. 
  • Calibrating plans and supports for Gen Z and Gen Alpha to better align with industry needs.
  • Building professional networks, gaining new resources, and learning from other programs that align with our state’s career and industry needs.
