On Wednesday, April 22, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz hosted the Asian American Career Forum Series kickoff celebration organized by the Brooklyn Asian Voice Organization (BRAVO). BRAVO’s Asian American Career Forum Series aims to ensure that Asian American youth are informed and educated about the need for talent and leadership in New York’s industries and businesses, and the asset that Asian American youth can develop and bring to the table, while realizing their own American dream.

The Series provides a framework for educating and coaching Asian American youth on career opportunities and how to achieve optimal educational preparation. A lecture series, individual mentoring and internship opportunities will be provided by network of partners, which include government and private institutions, as well as opinion leaders from various professional and administrative disciplines. .
