LAS VEGAS — Networking mustn’t be overlooked; it’s a key element of holistic professional development.
One area where the greatest opportunities could live is through International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE)’s Student Immersion Program. It’s designed to help the industry’s freshest entries kickstart their careers, but it also gives companies an opportunity to connect with top talent coming out of universities.
“It’s a great opportunity for exhibitors to promote their companies to future employees and potential interns,” said Pippa O’Shea, education manager for American Bakers Association (ABA) and the Student Immersion Program lead. “These are highly motivated students from universities across the US, and this is an opportunity for mentors to teach them more about the industry and career paths they may not have been exposed to at school.”
