Connect and Grow Your Professional Network

A strong network is there for you as you grow in your career. Meet peers and industry professionals through group discussions, speed networking events, and more. You’ll leave with the seeds of meaningful relationships to kickstart your career.

What To Expect

Career Readiness Bootcamps are experiential and interactive. These powerful experiences run over a weekend in a virtual setting. Each weekend bootcamp focuses on a specific career development theme, such as:
  • Creating resumes and cover letters that help you stand out
  • Using Linkedin, Github and portfolios to market your value
  • Creating your brand through storytelling
  • Interviewing and negotiating with confidence
  • Building authentic relationships and networks

You’ll hear from speakers, attend engaging virtual workshops, and participate in working groups with career coaches, peers and mentors.

You’ll put your newly gained skills to practice through mock interviews, resume feedback sessions or speed networking with industry professionals and career coaches depending on the bootcamp theme.
