Mission Tomorrow: Next Generation, in partnership with Junior Achievement of Central VA, is the Richmond region’s online interactive career exploration event for students.
Mission Tomorrow: Next Generation will look a little different due to COVID-19, but our goal is the same: to expose the region’s eighth graders – over 12,000 of them! – to all the different types of careers at up to 170 local businesses in a fun, interactive way.
This year’s event (Fall 2021) will be held in a virtual format for two days.
Mission Tomorrow: Next Generation will go live Wednesday, October 20th and Wednesday, October 27th from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM.
Participation
Mission Tomorrow: Next Generation is still a forward-thinking career exploration fair that introduces RVA’s next generation of workers to careers in high-demand industries.
Eighth graders from all eight localities within the region (Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan and Richmond) will be participating. Eighth grade is such a critical year for students as they are deciding on coursework pathways for their high school years and beyond.
