Youth Education Summit (YES)

The APEX Youth Education Summit (YES) is a career day for high school students and recent high school graduates (ages 14-21) to engage and explore their ideal career path. Through workshops, speaker panels and group discussions, students will have the unique opportunity to talk with and learn from working professionals across different industry fields. During panel breakout sessions, students will be able to speak with experienced professionals from different industries about their career paths.

The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for career path development for youth by providing tools and resources for both short-term and long-term success. Moreover, as part of APEX’s mission to serve the community, YES serves as an opportunity for APEX and its members to positively impact the next generation of future leaders.

YES is a FREE event. In addition to the workshops and career panel discussions, free lunch will be served.
