Your ambitions deserve room to grow and connections with people who can help you see what is possible.
This Black History Month, join us for a free afternoon of career mentoring and networking for young Black men aged 18–22.
Meet professionals, hear their career stories and explore opportunities in IT and the wider corporate world. Whether you are studying, exploring your options or starting your career, come ready to ask questions, make connections and think about your next move.
What you’ll explore
Building your professional network.
Understanding mentors and sponsors and how each can support you.
Finding your leadership style and stepping into leadership.
Developing a personal brand that reflects your strengths and ambitions.
Our career journey spotlights will offer honest insights into challenges, mistakes, lessons learned and what our speakers wish they had known at 18. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions during an open panel discussion.
