About the Early Career Navigation Leadership Council
As career pathways evolve and new industries emerge, early career exploration is more critical than ever. Research shows that learners who have a longer career exploration runway are better positioned to make informed decisions throughout their education journey—ultimately setting them on a path to lifelong economic success and personal fulfilment.
This exclusive leadership council convenes education leaders, strategists, funders, policymakers, and technology innovators to develop solutions that better connect education and employment. Hosted by QS and American Student Assistance (ASA), the Early Career Navigation Leadership Council brings together key decision-makers shaping the future of education and workforce development.
Through a shared vision, diverse expertise, and strategic collaboration, the Council will drive actionable solutions to ensure young people are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities needed for career and economic success.
Join us on November 20th virtually, for the fourth roundtable in a series of high-impact discussions on the future of skills and career navigation.
