BAC Parent Event - Brighter Futures 

Need: Many college graduates are burdened with high college debt, which can threaten their pursuit of 'The American Dream.' Moreover, there's often little awareness among students and parents that businesses can cover education expenses. Additionally, students and parents may not know which industries are growing or shrinking, making it hard to choose careers that match their interests and skills.

Objective: Organize a region-wide informational event for parents and students, focusing on the evolving job market, high-demand occupations, the soaring expenses associated with four-year degrees, cost-effective credential options and pathways, and the willingness of numerous businesses to sponsor student/employee college and credentialing expenses.
