Once CareerVillage has developed its brand, proven its value, created impact (let's assume it take 1-2 years or more), hold a conference inviting high schoolers to a career development and exploration event. Invite professionals to sit on panels, invite college counselors to talk about how they help guide their soon-to-be- graduates into different professions, and have Mayor Menino headline event (supports his campaign to prevent the Boston brain-drain).

Companies/Organizations can sponsor schools or students to attend conference.
