About the Event
Away from the borders and coasts, Kansas City-area students are often surprised to find just how many international academic and professional opportunities await them. This unique college and career fair brings students to the table with dozens of international businesses, organizations, colleges, and universities, to show them just how global their future can be.
In 2022, Your Global Future will combine aspects of previous years to offer:
- Trade show-style college and career fair where businesses, organizations, colleges, and universities will come together to interact with hundreds of area high school students
- In-school assemblies in the weeks preceding Your Global Future that feature speakers from sponsoring organizations
- Opportunities for real-world learning visits by students to sponsoring organizations
