Passport to Opportunity Programs

Every year, local PICPA chapters host CPA - Passport to Opportunity programs across the state. The program is a one day event that invites students to learn about the diverse career paths in accounting first hand from local CPAs.

The 2011 Passport to Opportunity programs were a huge success thanks the planning efforts of the chapter schools and colleges committees. Between Oct. 12 and Nov. 16 members spoke to 1,200 high school students from 66 high schools at 11 programs across the state.
