Professional Development
At GT-SHPE, our primary goal is to help our members expand their network and connect with titans in their industry that can help them reach their career goals. Here are a few ways we do this.
- Weekly Company MeetingsEvery Thursday we have a different company speak at our general body meetings. These companies come because they know the talent our organization supports, and they want to connect with our members. They give a presentation and answer questions to explain why the company may be a good fit for our members.
- SHPE National ConventionEvery year, our chapter attends the SHPE National Convention where recruiters from top companies around the world come to network with us. We provide reimbursement opportunities and scholarships to make sure all our members have the opportunity to go, and many of our members have received internships and full-time offers at this convention.
- WorkshopsAside from our weekly general body meetings, we also hold workshops both with company partners and independently on topics such as resume writing and interview preparation to make sure our members are ready to network with the biggest names in their industry.
Our board spends countless hours planning these events because we have seen amazing results from the resources we provide our members, and we are incredibly grateful to all our sponsors that help make these events possible!
