Like my dad would start off when he was going to say something potentially offensive..."how do I saaay..." If you or your company are not recruiting at the #NSBE Convention...then, respectfully, what are you doing?!? 18,000+ attendees were at #NSBE50...representing ALL of the Engineering disciplines and science and technology fields ranging from machine learning and medical to cyber, materials, and information systems. MANY of the attendees had law degrees or MBAs reflecting the vast diversity in thought and educational background. MANY of the attendees were Researchers...some had Military experience...some already had secret clearances...and some were looking for their very first opportunity! There were over 1,000 Pre-College Initive (PCI)/NSBE, Jr. attendees and more than a handful who are already doing research or have started their own business. There was a separate Graduate School Conference and multiple Special Interest Groups (SIGs) ranging from Transportation to Aerospace and more. But MOST OF ALL you had a CommUNITY of LEADERS who fought and scrapped to get themselves and their chapters to the convention. In my informal statistical study over nearly 30 years of NSBE membership I can state with a fairly wide confidence interval that no other student or professional organization has as much of a role in the day-to-day activities of the chapters as NSBE student leaders! Sure, they have an advisor, but the onus is ON the student leaders to run, manage, and plan in both the long and short-term. Then...these STUDENT leaders become STUDENT Regional Leaders...then STUDENT National Leaders...or Conference or Convention Planning Chairs. What senior or graduate student do you know chaired a 30,000+ member organization or managed a $60,000+ budget planning a regional conference before they finally returned the keys to their dorm room? And just for the supplemental cherry on top, NSBE Professionals and the phenomenal World Headquarters (WHQ) Staff ensure consistency and provide counsel while adroitly add the extra 'umph' when required. You might not need an engineer, but you should want a NSBE engineer in your organization. They make excellent staff, project managers, researchers, and problem solvers. NSBE is huge on organization, legacy, and culture. Maybe you don't have it in your budget for the biggest booth, but at least give your best effort for a few years and send your best people to reflect your corporation. So, if you're not recruiting at NSBE Conventions, I would suggest you ask your #HR or #recruiting staff..."why"? #STEM #NSBEGOLD #career #engineer #CareerFair #recruiter #hiring #interview #JobSeeker #SummerIntern #CooperativeEducation #science #technology #ComputerScience #AI #SWE #Cyber #EngineeringEducation #GradSchool #MedicalSchool #MBA #LawSchool #PatentLaw #DoD #Military #CivilianCareers #FederalEmployment #Talent National Society of Black Engineers NSBE Professionals | National Society of Black Engineers

The best time to find a job after college is when you start college. At CPP, we’re here to make that process a bit easier. Cherrie Peters, lead career coach at the Career Center on campus, has helped all kinds of students at various stages in their college careers. She advises students to be proactive and to utilize all the resources CPP has to offer: scholarships, micro-internships, alumni mentors, and the Career Center. The most important piece of advice she offers is to start early. “Career planning really is a process — a process of elimination, getting to know what they value and what is important to them. It’s about making themselves career ready. Students know themselves best, so they have to create career readiness for themselves first.” - Cherrie Peters Read more about CPP’s Career Center: https://bit.ly/47GSy2N Register for the Spring Career Fair happening on March 1: https://bit.ly/3OK8kTX

Our school's career fair happened 2 weeks ago, but since then, the local magazine -- THAT's Guangzhou -- graciously wrote a piece on it! https://lnkd.in/g7CdmN5g Interviewing for this piece made me reflect on how my role as a college counsellor shouldn't necessarily only be to advise students on their university and course choices but be able to provide signposts for them in their long-term journey (in the spirit of Rachel Doell's thoughtful piece on 'future pathways advisor' https://lnkd.in/gUwF5RiZ). And sometimes the college vs career counsellor perspective can look very different. Take course choice for example. As a college counsellor, how to help students make the 'right' course choice seems of paramount importance to me. However, when I have the careers counsellor hat on, what becomes salient is the fact that career development is not necessarily linear, and that many (if not most) individuals are embarking on a career that is quite different from what they studied back in university. The careers fair was a great opportunity because it wasn't me rambling about these points to students but for successful leaders in industries to tell them directly that: - Career development is not necessarily linear; it's okay and rather common to steer away from your university major - Success comes in many forms; what is successful to others may not be success to you - Failures are inevitable; work hard but don't be afraid to make mistakes - Don't be afraid to chase your dreams It is admittedly hard to juggle both hats of college and careers counseling -- but the career fair was a good reminder for me that it's important to allocate time and resources into expanding the definition of my role, and supporting students in their journeys well after university. #careercounselling #collegecounselling #studentadvising
