Over 2,500 Houston-area students seeking college and career preparation information and resources will explore career pathways by visiting various “neighborhood” areas that are designated to different industries and career opportunities. Students and parents will also hear from panels of business professionals discussing all the different career opportunities and benefits from their industries.

The day-long conference will take place on January 24, 2016 at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
