STAR Speaker Program
Supporting partners in transforming students' lives by helping them to achieve academic & career readiness.
Choosing a field of study or career path can be overwhelming to high school students. HFC’s STAR Speaker program was designed to help junior and senior class students explore their options by providing greater insight into academic and career fields that incorporate their interests and skills.
At your request, HFC instructors, including those from today’s hottest career fields, are willing to visit your classrooms to share an overview of the field, occupational outlook, earning potential, as well as offer a look at the related HFC programs and learning environment.

"Finding the HFC STAR Speaker Program to be helpful is an understatement. It provided our students with real insight, causing them to think, imagine and dream. It allowed them to gain a focus, get a real handle on their future and not just drift aimlessly without setting goals or making plans."
