Pre-Conference: In-person in Calgary, Alberta
Days 1 & 2: Online, interactive sessions
Courageous Practices: Equity, Diversity and Belonging in Postsecondary Education
Explore the conference program
Who should attend, academic staff, administrators, postdoctoral scholars, what to expect.
Kicked off with one day of in-person pre-conference interactive sessions, with two full days of interactive online learning and knowledge sharing. Session formats include keynote addresses, 90-minute interactive pre-conference sessions (in-person), 60-minute interactive conference sessions (online), 30-minute research presentations (online) and mixed media videos.
The conference allows presenters to demonstrate their educational leadership. Every presenter here has taken the time to synthesize and present an issue in teaching and learning that has resonance to them. More importantly, I think people do learn new things here that they later implement into practice.

Help connect underserved youth to economic mobility and stability.
learn MORE ABOUT the careers we offer
BridgeYear exposes youth to affordable and accessible careers that provide youth economic stability and independence.
All careers we highlight:
- Require less than a 4-year degree
- Are in-demand by employers
- Provide a living wage
- Offer career ladders/opportunities for advancement
Why non 4-year degree pathways?:
Traditional education has long placed great emphasis on four-year degrees, forcing many students – like those who cannot afford college, those with GPAs at or below 2.5 and those who simply aren’t interested in a four-year degree – to disengage from planning their future after high school. This has caused many to feel their only options are unskilled jobs, like in retail or food service, which often offer unstable wages, zero benefits and slim opportunities for advancement.
How do you know employers are in need of BridgeYear’s careers?
Instead of relying solely on workforce data, we partner directly with employers and corporate sponsors to learn what labor gaps they are facing now and in the future so we can help them recruit for their most immediate needs. Currently, we have partnerships with Gulf States Toyota , to promote the career of automotive technician, and the National Kitchen and Bath Association, to promote trade careers in the kitchen and bath industry including Electrician, Finish Carpenter, and Kitchen and Bath Designer.
How our program impacts advanced youth
Graduating high schoolers from low-income communities are part of the most vulnerable populations affected by the current crisis. COVID-19 has made their transition to college and the workforce less secure than ever, compromising crucial employment years that impact opportunities to escape poverty.
According to a national survey conducted by Equitable Futures early in the pandemic, the coronavirus crisis has caused young people to feel great uncertainty about their future. Among a sample of “Black and Hispanic youth and white young people from households with lower incomes,” the percent of those who reported feeling very clear about their future job or career dropped from 43% in 2019 to 27% in 2020 . The report also showed that a majority of youth value college differently with nearly 1 in 3 claiming they now think college is not worth pursuing compared to pre-pandemic. Today, this situation is expected to be worse due to plunging community college enrollment (NSCRC) and a 102% increase in student debt over the last decade (US Federal Reserve) . These shifts all point to an important reality: youth need help forging non 4-year pathways that won’t trap them in a cycle of poverty.
Advanced youth, especially high school seniors and opportunity youth, have been BridgeYear’s primary programming focus since 2016. Our Career Test Drive® program helps youth plan their path out of high school by exposing them to affordable, in-demand pathways they can pursue immediately.
How our program impacts intermediate youth
To better prepare all students for opportunities after high school, BridgeYear offers our Career Test Drive ® program to 7th-9th graders to increase awareness and strengthen career choice.
For 7th through 9th graders , our program was designed to help students make informed decisions that will prepare them for viable career paths after high school. As a result of House Bill 5 , 8th grade students in Texas are asked to select an endorsement area for their high school studies. Selecting an endorsement – and specifically, selecting a Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathway within an endorsement – offers students the opportunity to earn a free, industry-recognized credential. Yet when so few students receive these industry recognized certificates in the greater Houston area, too many students are missing this opportunity to become competitive in today’s workforce.
By exposing youth to in-demand careers they can get obtain accreditation for during high school, our Career Test Drive ® program helps students decide what CTE pathway aligns with their skills and interests and inspires them to optimize their time in high school to succeed in the workforce.
