The conference is divided up into three streams: entrepreneurship, finding your first job, and teamwork. You can follow one stream throughout the entire conference, or mix it up between the three.
The standard 9-5 desk job is not the perfect career path for everyone. Especially for those who decide to become their own boss as an entrepreneur. Learn about the path it has taken some of our speakers on and the challenges they faced when starting out. Learn about how their businesses have evolved while providing you with invaluable knowledge about what it takes to be an entrepreneur.
You came to college to work towards a career. Now you are here and are getting the hard skills so you will be qualified, but how will you find your first job? Learn some tips and tricks for how to find the dream job you are looking for, how to make sure you are seen as a potential candidate, and how to ace your interview?
The first thing that comes to mind when someone says teamwork shouldn’t be negative, it should be positive. Teamwork doesn’t just mean working on group projects, its working well together with others. This could be the difference between you landing that promotion or not. So learn about how to be a valuable team member so you can contribute to teamwork that makes the dream work!
