2020 FTI Young Professional and Collegiate Symposium

Description

The 2020 FTI Young Professional and Collegiate Symposium seeks to bring together young professionals, college students, recent graduates, career services staff, professors and parents to encourage and assist attendees in learning about the many educational and career opportunities that exist in the Federal Government.

The goal of the symposium is to cultivate our audience through the influencers (parents, career services staff, guidance counselors) and their peers to create a pipeline of talent for tomorrow. The realities of a rapidly retiring workforce require government agencies to reach out to audiences who can assist them with their missions and replace their retired workers. Students are ideally positioned to begin their career by taking advantage of the Pathways for Students and Recent Graduates (Internship Program, Presidential Management fellows, Recent Graduates Programs) scholarship and fellowship opportunities. Getting students started in these positions will provide economic empowerment and greatly assist the federal government with their human resources needs.

The event will take place Wednesday, February 19th (9:00 am-3:00 pm) and is a collaborative effort between the FTI, NIH, and OPM. This event is free of charge for all attendees.
