A Virtual Professional Development Convening for Young Adults in NYC
We’re inviting NYC’s young adults (16-24 years old) to “Dream Up” with JobsFirstNYC and more than a dozen inspiring speakers at our annual professional development convening The free virtual convening will feature TED Talk-style sessions with young trailblazers on topics such as: mental health and wellness, leadership and advocacy in the workplace, and the reimagined career path. There will be interactive breakout sessions on emerging job trends, and participants will have the chance to network with each other.
The “My City, My Community” social impact pitch competition returns, with $5,000 being awarded to three young adult finalists who are able to share a vision for developing innovative civic engagement opportunities and entrepreneurial aspirations that may have a positive impact in their communities.
If you are interested in registering a group of young adults, contact Stephany Garcia at sgarcia@jobsfirstnyc.org.
