Leadership Program Spring 2024
We also wanted to highlight the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement’s Spring University Leadership Network, which “aims to provide high-potential students with the access, insight, and professional development opportunities to reach their career goals. As part of the program, students also build social capital by connecting with HACE corporate partners, which helps grow a dynamic and inclusive workforce.” While the fall program has already launched, the Spring session will kick off in March and includes a variety of sessions on personal branding, resumes, networking, interviews, negotiating, work-life integration, and personal finance.
Upcoming Events
There’s always events specifically for women on our Women’s Community page, including Women in Supply Chain, Siemens @ SWE Conference, Women in Quants, Forté Women of Color Leadership Symposium, and Women in STEM all taking place in the next month!
Next month, Cait will focus in on entrepreneurship and tech for women, we hope you will check it out!
