Let’s face it, a degree isn’t enough anymore to secure a job. In today’s current job market, career readiness hinges on what you’ve done outside the classroom. University Co-Op Programs, Internships, and taking part in an Early Access Mentoring program are some factors that can propel you forward and give you a real advantage. You might be wondering what this looks like in practice? Luckily, you’re in the right place.
This talk breaks down what that actually looks like. I’ll walk through my experience at Red Hat as a CO-OP, the challenges I faced, what I learned and how mentorship played a huge role – not just from my experience as a mentee, but also from my mentor’s experience as well.
When you leave, you should have a better understanding of the experience opportunities that can help you in your career.
