With generous support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the League for Innovation and TIES cordially invite you to a Learn and Earn Convening being held October 1-2 at the JW Marriott Indianapolis in conjunction with the 2011 STEMtech conference (October 2-5). Industry groups, corporate executives, government officials, and education advocates will convene to discuss how they can help create affordable, practical education pathways that allow more young adults to earn a postsecondary credential that gives them a competitive edge in the workforce. Also discussed will be education programs and policies that enable students to concurrently work and earn their way toward a degree or credential. An agenda for the Learn and Earn Convening is attached.

There are no fees to participate in the Learn and Earn Convening on Saturday and Sunday morning, but you must register for the STEMtech conference if you would like to attend formal conference sessions Sunday through Wednesday. A list of conference sessions and registration
