WPI hosts the 4th Careers for Just and Sustainable Communities Networking and Mentoring Event

Students meet with employers at tables during the 4th Careers for Just and Sustainable Communities Networking and Mentoring Event last Wednesday, November 13.

WPI hosted the 4th Careers for Just and Sustainable Communities Networking and Mentoring Event last Wednesday, November 13, 2024. The event hosted 30 employers, including 15 WPI alumni from 1993-2023. 105 students participated, doubling last year's attendance. The program provides students with opportunities to learn about different careers in sustainability, to get advice in a low-stakes environment, to connect to networks and internships, and to learn from employers how their jobs create positive impacts on the communities and ecosystems around them. This fall, WPI also launched the Sustainable Careers Mentorship program, where over 20 mentors meet one on one with students to provide guidance, advice, and connections to jobs, internships, and networks in sustainable careers.
