Wondering what life after your school years might look like? Explore career info booths, then stay for dinner and a panel discussion where you can hear from the pros.

KFPL's Teen Advisory Group is happy to host "Life After School", a career conversation and dinner for teens.

Do you have a plan, a few ideas, or absolutely no clue what life will be like after high school? Join us for a night out at the library, where we will bring together local professionals, career experts, and a hot meal to help teens and parents tackle the "What's Next?" question together.

Walk through career booths to meet pros from a variety of industries. Ask the "day-in-the-life" questions you're curious about.  

5:30 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner & Conversation

Take a seat and enjoy a free dinner on us. While you eat, listen to our panel of experts share honest advice on navigating college, university, trades, and the modern job market. We'll save time for a Q&A to make sure your questions are answered.
