About this Event
Join us for an afternoon of meaningful networking, professional headshots, industry conversations, practical career insights, and genuine connections with professionals across a variety of fields. Your next career opportunity may begin with a conversation.
The Bridge: Career Connect is a FREE professional networking and career development event designed to connect young adults with professionals across industries and career stages.
This isn’t your typical career panel or keynote event. Career Connect is designed around real conversations and meaningful connections. You’ll hear honest career stories from professionals, join smaller industry-focused conversations, ask the questions that matter to you, and meet people who can expand the way you think about your career.
Whether you’re just starting your career, considering your next move, looking to grow professionally, or simply wanting to expand your network, you’re invited.
