Explore the latest research from Houston and across Texas on how to best support students for success after graduation.

As students transition out of high school, they enter a critical next phase: moving into the workforce or postsecondary education. Explore the latest research from Houston and across Texas on how to best support students for success after graduation.

Agenda

  • Informative research: Hear findings from the Kinder Institute’s Houston Education Research Consortium on student postsecondary readiness and workforce transitions.
  • Collaborative discussions: Engage with peers across education and nonprofit sectors on how to incorporate these findings into your own programs.
  • Resource fair: Network with local organizations offering workforce-preparation and postsecondary-pathway programs to nonprofits, school districts and students.

Organizations involved in postsecondary preparation (e.g., workforce preparation, college readiness, or career or college counseling) interested in hosting a table at the resource fair should contact Erin Baumgartner at erinbaumgartner@rice.edu
