Ida Byrd-Hill to Discuss College Dropout Reduction At The APCA 18th Annual Leadership on Broadway Experience

NEW YORK CITY, NY, USA, July 24, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA) serves 2700 student activities leaders at 2 and 4-year post-secondary institutions. The Annual Leadership Broadway Experience conference connects topics with the symbolism of a Broadway play. This year’s theme is The Lion King.

Ida’s presentation, LEVEL UP- Turn Your Passion into a Prosperous Lifestyle, focuses on young people getting to know themselves, their passions and lifestyle vision to power their post-secondary journey to acquire a prosperous future career.

“The post-secondary journey is a cocoon where young people learn skills to fly into a high-paying career and prosperous future. When young people drop out of their educational journey, they thwart both their and America’s prosperity,” states Ida Byrd-Hill CEO of Automation Workz.

College dropouts are at an all-time high at both 2 and 4-year institutions. The US post-secondary dropout rate is 40% at 4-year institutions and 83.3% at 2-year institutions. For those who do graduate with only a bachelor’s degree, fifty-two (52%) percent are underemployed a year after getting their diploma, meaning they are not employed in college-level jobs. Every college student must retool their mindset to prepare for a prosperous lifestyle vision
