2024 L/EARNER VOICE SYMPOSIUM

Our 2024 L/Earner Voice Symposium, on February 29, 2024 from 9 – 11am, is a free virtual event with representation from a wide range of Colorado industries sharing what’s happening in education-to-workforce systems affecting them. 


We will have speakers from industry, education and state organizations sharing l/earner insights from aerospace, green energy, healthcare, and public safety, a session on Colorado’s progress on making l/earner credentials portable through Learning & Employment Records (LERs) as well as a workshop led by Young Invincibles on strategies for rural youth organizing. 



This year’s keynote will feature learners with Roadtrip Nation. Roadtrip Nation is a nonprofit organization that humanizes career exploration through storytelling and empowers individuals to connect their interests to fulfilling lives and careers. Hear first-hand reflections from Roadtrip Nation’s Colorado roadtrippers about their experience crisscrossing the state to speak with leaders in the state’s traditional and emerging industries and how they are thinking about the meaning of success in their own education and career journeys. 

We welcome secondary and postsecondary education leaders, faculty, advisors, instructors, administrators, counselors, employers, state leaders, workforce development leaders, community organizations, and all those striving to keep learners and earners at the center of their work.
