Transitioning to Your First Job in Industry

Chair(s)

Muir, V., Young Professionals Committee

What does the typical day of an engineer look like in different positions and industries? How can AIChE help me land a job and excel in my first few years out of college? How do I approach relocating to a new place for a job? How do I start saving money and planning for retirement? Join the Young Professionals Committee (YPC) for a discussion on transitioning from college to your first industry job. This session will feature a short presentation followed by Q&A with a panel of YPC members from various industry backgrounds. Discussion topics will include job hunting, relocating for a job, budgeting, benefits packages, student debt, and planning for retirement. YPC members will also discuss what they wish they knew when starting their first jobs.
