Invest in the Professionals Guiding DC's Learners

Every day, advisors, counselors, educators, career navigators, and coaches help DC learners navigate postsecondary education, career pathways, and training opportunities. Yet too often, they do so without the time, resources, or community they need to succeed.

The Practitioner Forum changes that.

Through practical workshops, peer learning, and meaningful networking, practitioners leave with stronger relationships, new strategies, and renewed energy for their work.

Your investment helps make this possible.

Sponsor the Forum

Why Sponsor?

Your organization will help:

  • Equip practitioners with actionable tools they can immediately apply in their work.

  • Build stronger connections across schools, nonprofits, workforce organizations, higher education, and government.

  • Expand access by keeping registration affordable and providing scholarships for practitioners whose organizations cannot cover attendance costs.

  • Demonstrate your commitment to improving postsecondary and workforce outcomes across the District.

Supporting practitioners creates ripple effects that extend far beyond a single event.
