FIUTS is holding our annual World to Work sessions to help students network with professionals in the Seattle area and learn about future career opportunities! Please feel free to forward along the following sessions we are holding and let me know if you have any questions (I’ve also attached a few images for each event too). Thank you!
Are you curious about what it is like to work at Google? Salesforce? NOAA? The Gates Foundation? These are a few examples of the many companies that FIUTS has partnered with over the years to provide students insight into what it’s like to work in top U.S. companies. This year, we are excited to offer students, alumni, and community members the opportunity to meet with industry professionals in academia, law, tech, and more! FIUTS World to Work week is May 3-7, 2021.
