Preparing the Next Gen Workforce for an Alt Protein Career

GFPBAP's summer event pulls back the curtain and gives direct access to working professionals in the space. Instead of being lectured at or talked to, finally attendees get to be in the driver's seat to direct the conversation. Do I need to have a STEM degree? Is there work-life balance at a startup? What experience qualifies for "entry level" positions? Get answers to questions like these and many more! You just need to ask! Format An intimate Ask Me Anything (AMA) session will take place in each Speaker's Breakout Room. Attendees are encouraged to visit as many Breakout Rooms as they want to meet with a different Expert in a job role they may be considering. Reminder: Since this is fully virtual and student-driven, everyone having cameras on will help establish personal connections faster and enable a more engaging conversation.
