Innovation Career Connections: Highlights & Upcoming Opportunities

As part of Education2Success.org’s Innovation Career Connections initiative, the Innovate-A-thon team recently piloted a unique series of virtual, meaningful career conversations connecting innovative students with forward-thinking companies.

On Thursday, April 17, students and potential employers from across the country joined us for two interactive sessions. Each session began with open presentations, employers shared their talent recruitment goals, and students introduced their research, areas of study, and innovation projects.

It was all hosted on the collaborative platform Remo. This allowed attendees to connect beyond standard presentations. After the general session, participants moved into virtual “booths”, where employers provided company information via interactive Miro whiteboards and held 1:1 conversations with student innovators.
