Start college on a professional footing
At C21, we tell students you start interviewing for careers on your first day at UW. We want to impress on students that the connections they make, the networks they join, and academic and professional skills they hone are all integral to creating a professional identity that is highly employable at graduation. This year, we are offering a short program to kickstart career readiness for students participating in Early Fall Start 2022.
Our C21 Professional Launchpad will take place during Early Fall Start and will be held in person on the UW campus. After this session, students will have fundamental tools and understanding to leverage all future professional opportunities they come across while earning their UW degree. There is no additional fee for the Launchpad--all costs are covered by the EFS program fee.
Program Details
The C21 Professional Launchpad will take place during week one of EFS (Aug. 23-26, 2022) and be run in a session of about 90 minutes. This session will take place in the afternoon to make sure there is no time conflict with EFS seminars. This program is open to all 2022 EFS students.
If you are interested in hearing about future programming and other opportunities, you can sign up for notifications from C21.
