How can you leverage your volunteer role to help deepen your own skill set and advance your career? In this webinar from April 28, 2021, MIT alumni discuss their volunteer work and offer practical advice and strategies on how a volunteer role can create a unique chance for your own professional development.  No matter where you are in your professional path, the need for new skills and areas of expertise changes as we advance.

Do you want to volunteer but have no time? What if your volunteer role could double as a professional development opportunity?

Hear how our alumni panelists used this strategy to learn new skills and build impactful career connections. This session will also provide an overview of current MIT volunteer opportunities and how you can get involved.
