Registration is here for Henrico’s Life Ready Expo on Wednesday, September 17, from 6:00-8:00 pm at Hermitage High School.
 
The Life Ready Expo is our district-wide career exploration event for area students in grades 6-12, offering students and their families the opportunity to talk with employers from each career cluster to learn about career pathways, educational requirements, compensation, and future growth in career fields.
The success of this event – both in creating an enjoyable experience and raising funds for charity – is thanks to the participation and support of attendees. This year, the outing will help neighbors in need who were impacted by flooding and major storms. In addition, several food banks in the region that are facing significant demand will receive much-needed funding.
