Faces of STEM(TM)

To help our Scholars prepare for their summer internships, on June 1st STEM Advantage alumnae Danielle and Emily organized and led an Onboarding Workshop for nearly 100 Scholars at FabFitFun - see photo. Workshop featured a Talent Acquisition panel with Talent Leaders from Warner Bros, Valence Media and FabFitFun; STEM Advantage Alumni panel to share their internship experiences and advice to get the most benefit from their internship; a FabFitFun tech team panel; and Leadership Skills and Workplace Etiquette with an executive and STEM Advantage Board member from Sony Pictures Entertainment. The sessions were educational with a lot of Q&A, discussion, networking and community building. 

"It was an awesome experience and I learned a lot from everyone who went up to talk about their professions, what they’re looking for and how they got to where they are. I especially loved seeing so many smart, talented and driven women. It really motivated me to keep doing what I’m doing and to keep meeting new people and to continue networking. Thanks for the awesome opportunity to be able to do all that through STEM Advantage." - Yeny, California State University, Los Angeles

Our Scholars had great summer internship experiences at amazing companies like Accenture, Avery Dennison, CBS, Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, Farmers, Internet Brands, Kinecta Federal Credit Union, Warner Bros and more.
