Center of Workforce Innovations’ NextGen Expo 2023
Published: April 24, 2023When students graduate from high school, they are thrown into a world where they have to make tough choices that determine their future: What should they study? What skills can they develop? Do they want to go to college? Should they learn a trade? Where are the resources to help them make those decisions?
To help those students, and all youths and young adults aged 16 to 24, Center of Workforce Innovations (CWI) created the NextGen Expo, the second annual rendition of which was hosted at Purdue University Northwest. Forty-six employers, educators, local businesses, and youth service providers took part in offering attendees information, dialogue, interactive learning sessions, and presentations on healthcare, technology, and skilled trades.
