Marketing
Health care
Sales
And many more!

Workshops 9:50am-11:15am

How Much Money Do You Need to Live? – What kind of lifestyle do you want to have once you’re out on your own? How do you know if you can afford it? When should you start a savings and how much? Should you be investing? We answer these questions!
The 3 Basics for getting ahead: Mentors, Sponsors and Networking – What’s the difference between a mentor and a sponsor? How do you find one? How do you work with them? How to do you make the most of networking?
The Basics of Interviewing – We’ll cover everything from what kinds of questions to expect and how to answer them to how to dress (this can change depending on the industry) to how to follow up afterwards. Be sure that you make a great and lasting impression!

Panel Discussion 11:20pm – 12:20pm CST

The last two years has had a huge impact on the type of careers that are going to be in high demand in just a few years.
