As many of you know, in addition to financial empowerment, education is also near and dear to my heart. Ironically, the two compliment each other. Every economic forum I attend forecasting the hot careers (highest paying, most in demand) in the next 10-30 years have something to do with Science/Tech/Engineering/Math (#STEM). These careers are WHAT'S NEXT! How do you get your kids (whether elementary or teenager) interested?' ...So they can compete?
Translated: make good money and get out of your house one day?!
The truth is that career path is tied to income. The question is not only will your children be able to manage their money as an adult, but will they have ANY to manage? Whether you have toddlers or teens, it's important to know how to prepare them for a successful future - well we're going to 'chat' about it Monday night with the Math Lady herself, Latonia A. Jones. She'll share creative ways to introduce your children to #STEM career paths.
LaToniya A. Jones has more than 15 years experience in education. Her career has afforded her an opportunity to serve as a math instructor, consultant, principal and speaker at state conventions. (Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio). Ms. Jones is the Owner/Lead Consultant of P.O.W.E.R. Institute, LLC. In her role as a higher education administrator, she also serves as Department Chair for Developmental Education at Baker College of Auburn Hills.
She had the honor of presenting at the 140 Characters Conference (so cool) - featuring the power of Twitter in the math world- in Detroit (October 2010) Ms. Jones has received numerous awards, recognition, and grants including recognition by PineSol Clorox as a "Woman Making a Powerful Difference"
