#WHATSNEXT Pop-Up Workshop Tour,

About the event

Adecco Group, the largest professional staffing company in the world, released the results of a 2016 survey that showed 74 percent of young people ages 18-24 felt their colleges failed to fully prepare them for the professional world. #WHATSNEXT was created in effort to bridge this outside of the classroom gap. 

"Paper Doesn't Matter. What you do with it does."

Join #WHATSNEXT for the Sunnyvale pop-up workshop tour stop at LinkedIn headquarters on September 7, 2018 from 9am-2pm! It's hip. Edgy. Live interviews and on the spot resume critique. Live music.
