Over the last few years, the Future Pathways has grown into one of central Indiana’s largest college and career exploration events, bringing together colleges, universities, employers, apprenticeship programs, military branches, workforce training providers, career centers, and community organizations under one roof.
The Future Pathways College & Career Fair is designed to help students, families, and adults explore the many pathways available after high school, whether that means earning a college degree, entering the workforce, pursuing an apprenticeship, joining the military, or obtaining an industry certification.
Attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Meet one-on-one with admissions representatives from colleges and universities.
- Explore careers with local employers and industry leaders.
- Learn about apprenticeships, technical training, and workforce certification programs.
- Connect with military recruiters and public service organizations.
- Discover scholarships, community resources, and career planning tools.
More than 100 organizations are expected to participate, representing education, business, healthcare, manufacturing, public safety, skilled trades, government, and nonprofit sectors.
Admission is free, and no pre-registration is required. However, all attendees will be asked to register using StriveScan upon arrival. Students will receive a personalized barcode that makes it easier than ever to connect with colleges and participating organizations.
To save time at check-in, attendees are encouraged to pre-register online (beginning August 17th) and skip the line on the night of the event. Registration information is available at www.hendrickscollegenetwork.org.
