Pathways to Employment: A Career Readiness Expo

Real Skills. Real Opportunities. Real Futures.

The Pathways to Employment Expo connects business leaders with motivated teens and young adults (ages 16–25) with lived experience in foster care through a hands-on workforce readiness experience.

This is a strategic investment in future talent.

Why Your Partnership Matters

Young adults aging out of foster care often lack professional networks, industry exposure, and access to employment pathways.

The Expo closes that gap by creating direct employer connection, real-world skill development, and tangible career access.

Your sponsorship positions your organization as a leader in workforce development and community impact.

What Happens at the Expo

Young adults engage in:

• Mock interviews
• One-on-one employer conversations
• Career pathway exploration
• Resume and LinkedIn development
• Direct industry exposure

Sponsors gain:

• Direct access to emerging talent
• Brand visibility as a workforce champion
• Early pipeline engagement
• Meaningful, measurable community impact

The Outcome

This is more than an event. It is a bridge to employment, independence, and long-term stability.

When business leaders step into the room, opportunity becomes tangible.
