For ages 16–25 to meet professionals, learn real career insight, and get guidance from members, business owners, and industry partners. Next Step Network at Adventure Unknown is a career‑focused connection space designed for young adults ages 16–25 who want real access to professionals, industry leaders, and working adults across a wide range of fields. This event gives participants the chance to learn directly from people who are already in the roles they’re curious about. From offering honest insight into career paths, workplace expectations, and opportunities they may not hear about anywhere else. Whether you’re exploring internships, entry‑level jobs, or simply trying to understand what direction feels right, Next Step Network provides a supportive environment where you can ask questions, get clarity, and hear real‑world advice from current Adventure Unknown members, business owners, and partnering corporations. These conversations help bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to go. We know that sometimes hearing guidance from parents or teachers doesn’t always land. Hearing it again from an outside perspective such as a mentor, a professional, or someone actively working in the field — can make all the difference. This event is built for those moments. It’s a place to gain confidence, expand your network, and get practical recommendations that support your next step. What to Expect: Direct conversations with professionals and industry leaders Insight into career paths, workplace culture, and real expectations Guidance on internships, entry‑level roles, and recommendations Honest advice from members and corporate partners A supportive environment focused on growth, clarity, and opportunity If you’re ready to connect, learn, and take a meaningful step toward your future, Next Step Network is the place to start. Open to Public, we ask you RSVP and kids on the Eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/next-step-forward-at-adventure-unknown-tickets-1995105358835?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true
