Jacksonville Goes To College Week!
|
Posted By: William Jackson on October 12, 2016 Jacksonville Goes To College Week! by William Jackson Educator with Duval County Public Schools and Edward Waters College "Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today." Malcolm X Duval County Public Schools and the City of Jacksonville is proud to present “Jacksonville Goes To College Week!” The opportunity for families to speak to college recruiters about their institutions of higher learning, vocational education and courses that lead to new directions in life. The opportunities are endless for students today to plan on careers that were not available just 5 to 10 years ago. Careers that were only in the imaginations and dreams of youth, teens and young adults are ready to be started with the right type of educational foundation and access to technology. Students of color and culture have doors open to them if they are certified, certificated and degrees. Even opportunities to embrace entrepreneurialism are available. What better way to fan the fires of dreams and high expectations to let your children talk to recruiters now while they are in elementary school and middle school. Parents are encouraged to stop by booths that help their children with financial management, to help understand the importance of planning for financial security now and not waiting for the future that may or may not be what is planned or expected. The understanding of how money works can be the difference in having children living at home after high school and college or having them to be successful and prepared to live on their owns with little or no assistance from family. Lasting until October 15, there is a whole slate of events dedicated toward post-secondary decisions. The week caps off with the Jacksonville National College Fair on Saturday, October 15 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Prime Osborn Convention Center. Those interested in attending the college fair can visit http://jaxcollegefair.org For more information or register online at http://gotomyncf.com #MYQUESTTOTEACH If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
