Eligibility

Going Pro is open to current college and graduate students, early-career individuals, and college, university and trade tech educators. Select parts of the fair are reserved for current college and graduate students.

Do I count as early-career? We think of ‘early-career’ as someone who has begun pursuing a career in their intended field, and who has been working in it for fewer than 8 years. However, we believe ‘early-career’ is self-defined. If you identify as an early-career individual, please RSVP.

Schedule
