Finding Your Future In Food Systems

This ongoing webinar series provides participants with connections and insights to help them identify next steps for their careers. The series features speakers from job-creating organizations, agencies, and businesses, some working locally in their communities, others with national and international scope. Produced by college students for college students and other emerging professionals.

Spring 2023 series open now for registration.

Seasonal Sips & Job Tips

Once a month, we'll get on the Zoom for an informal conversation with emerging and transitional professionals looking for a job in food systems.

Together we'll share insights about job leads and tips for networking. 

Each virtual event will also feature a seasonally-inspired beverage, recipe included.
