Women in STEM Can Connect with Industry Leaders
The Vault/Firsthand Career Engagement Platform offers a community of employers, experts, and alumni who can help mold a bespoke approach to a student’s career, connecting the dots between education, career goals, and the steps necessary to achieve them. Students who are interested in authentic, meaningful opportunities to connect with companies committed to hiring women and providing fulfilling careers should register early for the chance at preselection and personal interviews.
If not selected, students may still drop resumes at employer booths and will enjoy panel participant sessions, keynote speakers, reviewing employer booths, resume building sessions, and other professional development opportunities.
