There is a lot that WE Local Conference offers you as a Graduate Student! Learn from keynote presentations and 50+ breakout sessions at each conference to enhance your professional and personal growth. Regardless of your major, there's so much to discover when you attend a WE Local. Thanks to the smaller and more intimate experience compared to SWE's Annual Conference, WE Local serves as an excellent forum to exchange ideas, mentor each other, and gain inspiration with both professionals and collegiates in a more intimate setting!
WE Local career fairs are in full swing featuring local engineering and technology organizations interested in recruiting top talent for job openings. You'll have the opportunity to talk one-on-one with recruiters and potentially participate in interviews directly on-site. In preparation for the WE Local career fair, be sure to update your resume on swe.org. Practice your elevator pitch and have a couple of questions you want to ask recruiters!
