Professional Development Bootcamp

The Berkeley Community Scholars Alumni Council is hosting a pilot workshop series only for upperclassmen and alumni in the scholarship organization. Selected students will have the opportunity to participate in a 3 week-long boot camp focused on professional development. The workshops will be facilitated by industry professionals from different companies. They will share what recruiters are looking for to help students build a stronger profile and application for jobs and internships. The series is also completely transferable to students interested in applying to graduate school (graduate applications always require a CV, Cover Letter, and sometimes interviews). Students who are interested must apply and are expected to attend each session. Space is limited to eight scholars/alumni.
