IMPACT · BUILT THROUGH EXPERIENCE
Questions asked.
Doors opened.
NXT UP TEENS creates direct career exposure through conversations with professionals, hands-on Career Nights, and opportunities that can continue after an event ends.
Figures reflect confirmed results from the Mixology, Dentistry & Business, and Content Creation & Broadcasting Career Nights. Attendance is reported as event participations and may include returning students. Opportunities offered include shadowing and an internship opportunity.
WHAT IMPACT MEANS HERE
Students should be able to see a career up close before they are expected to choose one.
Each experience is designed to move from curiosity to conversation—and, when possible, from conversation to a real next step.
