Today’s high school students have more opportunities than ever to explore careers, earn college credit, and build a meaningful path beyond graduation. However, families need to be aware of the programs and experiences that can open doors and understand that conversations about options should begin earlier than adults might expect.
Homayoun will discuss why early career exploration is important and how parents can help children discover interests, strengths, and possibilities before making decisions about a college major and course-selections.
Following her keynote, Homayoun will moderate a panel of regional education leaders who will demystify Illinois’ evolving college and career-readiness landscape. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, counselor, or school administrator, you’ll leave this GPS presentation with a clearer understanding of how these initiatives help students make informed decisions, explore future careers with purpose, and maximize the opportunities available throughout high school and beyond.
