It’s “YURtern” to take the next step towards your future success. They say it’s about who you know, not what you know—right? Pro tip: it’s both. The more you know, both people and insights, the better.
Want insider advice directly from hiring professionals on interview and negotiation tips—ones you can’t just get from a Google search? Want to make connections with like-minded young professionals?
We would say “the best part is…” but there are so many “best parts!”
Your current and future bosses WANT you to participate! It shows you have initiative and want to set yourself up for success. Don’t pass up this opportunity. You never know when you’ll meet someone or learn something that can help you land that next internship or job.
The Summer 2023 YURtern program brought in 300+ interns from 39 companies, 28 areas of study, and 17 different schools. Each year the program continues to grow – so you can look forward to an even bigger cohort to network with in 2024. See the 2024 YURtern events calendar below!
