Lunch and Learn is a fantastic Ready Graduate initiative aimed at providing students with valuable exposure to a diverse range of opportunities for their future education and careers. The structure of having college representatives, military representatives, and career representatives available during all three lunches is an effective way to ensure maximum student participation and engagement.
During these sessions, students have the chance to interact with representatives and gather information about different paths they can pursue after high school. This exposure is crucial in helping them make informed decisions about their future.
