WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD A TALENT STRONG FLORIDA

Each year, community leaders and education advocates gather at Florida College Access Network’s annual convention to get inspired, learn new strategies, and network with like-minded professionals from across the state. For our 10th anniversary, we’re strengthening our focus on outcomes with the Talent Strong Florida Summit.
Together, we can make education beyond high school accessible to all. We’re looking forward to welcoming you!
Join us for two days of best practices, fresh approaches, and key lessons that will include:
Let’s give all of Florida’s students the tools they deserve to thrive in tomorrow’s workforce.
