This event will run from November 2021 to March 2022.

A program wrap-up event that will highlight students’ Company Program successes and allow them to network with industry professionals as they consider their future career pathways.

I have an internship this summer and this helped me greatly. I feel more prepared than ever and I am excited to get started down this path.
