To summarize this week in two words: CAREER FAIRS! Long lines but even longer conversations that sparked valuable insights. Here are my top takeaways: 1. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 100% 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧. A quote that resonated with me this week: "If I’m one of the best programmers in a company fresh out of college, that means there's no room for growth. You should never plateau in your career—that’s when you know it's time to move on. You should ALWAYS want to learn." Find a company that fosters your growth, not one where you feel stagnant. 2. 𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒! I can’t stress this enough. If you only have a 1% shot at landing an internship, visit 100 booths. Somewhere out there, one is for you. You may meet someone who knows your work or discover an opportunity you never imagined. The more you put yourself out there, the more you learn about yourself and the industry. 3. 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐁𝐄 𝐀𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐒𝐊. A shocking number of internships go unnoticed by the perfect candidates for the role. Many people are willing to help—whether it's connecting you with others or diving deeper into a field. All you need to do is ASK, and that’s often the hardest part. 4. 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. Whether it’s with a recruiter or a colleague, people can tell when you care. If you're passionate about something, let it show! Let your passion shine through in every conversation—it’s your best asset. On that note wanted to take some time to recognize some people/companies I've had some insightful and genuine conversations with! Mike Brown, Swanand Dhayagude, Edward Osika Jr., David Bleaking, and Darryl Rumph, Jr.! Red Hat, Deutsche Bank, Bandwith LLC, Qorvo, Inc.Toshiba, Garmin, and LexisNexis Signing off till next week :)

BYU–HAWAII APCC 2024 Asia Pacific Career Conference is one of the coolest events that I can pariticipate as a student here in BYUH. Companies from various different places come to our school and meet with us, students to know about our school and share their experiences to us while creating countless opportunities for us through networking and possibly hiring us after gradution or through internships. I really love this event because I get to meet a lot of people who lead the companies around the world. Even though they are from many different places, they all have similar values and expectations from students like me. For example: - to have a good work ethic - to work in a diverse environment - to adapt and learn quickly - to use critical thinking skills - to be genuinely good human being The last one is probably the most important thing for me because company culture is very important for the employees to work efficiently, and having kindness that cares for each other really improve that culture. The list continues but I just want to show my gratitude for every companies that came to our school and giving us these opportunities. I went to APCC career fair event where every company representatives introduces their companies and give valuable information to us, and then I went to the networking event where we can just network and have meaningful conversations. I really like this event because not only students get to meet with them but companies can network with each other to learn from each other which created even greater opportunities for them as well.

The Business Career Fair hosted by OSU Career Services this fall was a huge success! With over 170 employers sharing details about internships and full-time opportunities, our MS BAnDS students had the chance to explore potential career paths. Companies from our Corporate Advisory Board were also present, interacting with students and providing valuable information about available roles. Our students made the most of this opportunity to network and explore their future careers.

One of the many ways we are trying to help improve the increasingly difficult process of finding, training, and retaining team members is by exposing our local youth to career pathways. We currently have four young men who work after school in our building and at least one is learning the machining trade. Some advice from our experience to help you do the same: -Work with your local educators, schools, community colleges, and universities. We need to expose the youth of today to the available career pathways. -Be a part of your school's career fairs, and mock interviews. Be available for facility tours. -Find out what internship programs are available in your area and how you can participate. -Work with your local workforce center to build relationships for career pathways and help with filling your career pipeline. Many of us are so occupied with work that we tend to overlook the fact that some people in our communities are unaware of our existence. We should make an effort to go out and contribute to our community by positively affecting the lives of young people. How have you made an impact within your community? We would love to hear your ideas.

👨🏾🎓 January is Internship and Job Fair season! 👩🏾🎓 As many corporations and businesses seek out talent on college 🎓 campuses across the country, diversity and inclusion must become a priority when meeting and interviewing prospects. Even selecting which schools and locations to hold career fairs plays an integral role in the demographics of students that will attend. As we aspire to break down systemic barriers that systemic populations face when entering STEM/STEAM careers, the barrier of access must be addressed. Participating in internship/career fairs at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic-Serving Institutions is a significant step in ensuring these vital positions are accessible to all. What steps can your business take to progress the call for more diversity in your field?
