JA Summit: Financial Equity & Career Readiness   

When: Tuesday, May 13, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM  

Where: Schwab Event Center, 11800 Schwab Way Austin, TX 78758 

JA Summit is our reimagined, formally known as JA F.E.M. Forum, lunch experience focused on financial equity and career readiness. This year, the summit highlights the exploration of career pathways and their influence on financial outcomes. This event creates a dynamic space where the business community engages directly with high school students through an impactful panel discussion, meaningful mentoring, networking opportunities, and thought-provoking conversations centered on financial equity and career exploration.

By uniting companies and business leaders who are dedicated to advancing financial equity, JA Summit offers students invaluable exposure to diverse industries and career possibilities. This experience equips students with essential tools to make informed decisions, set meaningful goals, and carve out a pathway to long-term economic success.

Because of our generous partners, we invite students from high school, at no cost to them or their schools, to join the conversation and participate in a mentoring session with professional attendees.

**Please note: Attendees are mixed genders. All are welcome.**
