100 High Schoolers America Needs to Know About™

Workforce Career Readiness™ is celebrating 100 High Schoolers America Needs to Know About™ across the United States. We are looking for high school students who are on their way to taking the world by storm! 

Do you know a student leader or activist that is making a difference? How about a student who is working on the next big thing such as an app or a startup? Maybe a student who started their own business?

How about a student who is excelling in career technical education or volunteering their time afterschool or weekends? Do you know a student who writes screen plays or authored a book, produced a film or hosts a radio show or a student that “beat the odds” under difficult circumstances?

If you know a student that you'd like to nominate, let us know by filling out our nomination form found below and submit a photo (at least 1,000 pixels on the longest side) of the student along with a paragraph letting us know why he or she is a student America needs to know.

Once chosen, 100 students will be featured on Workforce Career Readiness™ website and social media outlets that will be viewed by millions of readers throughout the country.

WINNERS will receive a frame certificate, Workforce Career Readiness™ swag bag filled with goodies, and most of all bragging rights.
