The free 2019 College & Career Readiness Conference, presented by Reach Manatee, is the region’s only parent/student conference focused on helping families understand the college and career options for their students. This year’s conference will feature speakers with years of expertise helping students navigate financial aid/FAFSA, the admissions process, college expectations, types of post-secondary opportunities, and how education connects to careers and labor market data. The keynote speaker is Maria Furtado, Executive Director of Colleges That Change Lives, an organization dedicated to the advancement and support of a student-centered college search process based in California. Furtado will focus on ways to support the goal of each student finding a college that develops a lifelong love of learning, providing the foundation for a successful and fulfilling life beyond college.
