Mission Tomorrow
October 18, 2018 - October 19, 2018
Mission Tomorrow is the Richmond region’s interactive career exploration event for students. The event will be held October 18-19, 2018, at the Richmond Raceway Complex.
Through an interactive series of activities and discussions with employers, Mission Tomorrow will encourage students to explore career interests and in-demand jobs from over 140 businesses in our region.
Students also will gain a better understanding of what it means to be prepared for a job and be exposed to various career and technical education resources within their localities.
Participation
About 12,000 public school 8th graders in all eight localities within the region (Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Richmond and Powhatan) are expected to participate. Eighth grade is a critical year for students as they are deciding on coursework pathways for the remainder of their high school years and beyond.
