How will students find my company’s info prior to the Youth Summit and the day of the event to make connections?
The day of the event, QR codes will be printed and placed in the venue with your company’s logo. This will DIRECTLY link them to your Career Pathway profile. On-site leadership team members will direct your students to the QR that matches their interest.
