Inspiring executives to help students imagine their future

Over 100 executives imagining g their future in supporting FCPS students

Steve Parker represented The Harraseeket Foundation in a panel discussion for c-suite education and business executives. It was organized by Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax County Economic Development Authority and Educate Fairfax. The focus was on re-imagining the workforce development experience and contributing to student post-secondary success. The panel featured Dr. Michelle Reid, Division Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools and five companies and nonprofits, including Harraseeket, that support students.

The executives heard about Harraseeket’s work since expanding to Fairfax County Public Schools last year, helping hundreds of students at Herndon High School imagine their future -- workshops and fairs involving scores of employers and volunteers; mentoring; and at-work experiences.
