Monthly in-person events for students & young professionals
Your next mentor is on the calendar.
Pull up a chair, start a conversation, and find a clearer path. Meet experienced mentors face to face, tackle real-world challenges, and build projects that matter, at monthly in-person events for students and young professionals.
Mentors who've walked the path, in the same room as you.
Skybridge Connections & Careers links students and young professionals with seasoned mentors who have walked the path before them. Every month, our in-person events move from honest conversation to hands-on problem solving to real collaborative builds. The result is guidance, confidence, and a network that lasts well beyond the room.
We're a social network that actually meets up. Whether you're still studying or a few years into your first job, you get career guidance and support from experienced mentors in person, at events you can sign up for in a couple of clicks.
