?? This month, the Aksarben Foundation hosted two amazing events at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska at Omaha in collaboration with the Peter Kiewit Foundation Engineering Academy! ?? During the panels, experts shared invaluable insights on key topics like networking, standing out as an intern, building meaningful connections, and speaking up when something isn’t right. Following the panel discussions, students participated in small group rotations, gaining deeper knowledge and asking in-depth questions about internships and professional growth. ?? These events are important because they allow students to connect with industry leaders and learn to overcome barriers while finding their voice and confidence to excel in their academic and professional journeys. ??? A huge thank you to the company representatives from Nebraska Tech Collaborative partner organizations and the internNE, Powered by Aksarben from across Omaha and Lincoln for dedicating their time and expertise to connect with students in tech and engineering pathways! Special thanks to the Peter Kiewit Foundation Engineering Academy for their partnership with the Aksarben Foundation through internNE, Powered by Aksarben and the Nebraska Tech Collaborative. Together, we’re helping shape the future of Nebraska’s workforce! ????
