We are thrilled to launch St. Louis' first interactive summit and cross-cultural career fair dedicated to international students in STEM.
Â
Join us for a day of keynotes, presentations and networking with peers, HR professionals and industry leaders who are shaking up the innovation community. We've carefully crafted an incredible lineup of STEM talent consisting of international students and recent graduates who are seeking internships and full-time positions. For students, we've assembled some of St. Louis' top-tier employers who want to meet you! Prior to the job fair, we will have group tours to Tech Shop and BioGenerator Labs along with presenters who are prepared to arm you with new strategies, insights and know-how to take your career search to the next level.Â

Connection. Education. Diversification.
We are currently at capacity with a waiting list. Only students who have registered and received a confirmation email will be allowed access to this event.
On best practices for hiring:
"You need [to hire] somebody who's different from you, from a different socioeconomic background, from a different culture, from a different religion, from a different country, that speaks a different language. They see the world very differently. They bring that diversity you need to come up with creative solutions to really tough problems to advance your company. Just avoid that natural human tendency of birds of a feather flock together. It's in that spot of friction of figuring out how to understand the perspective of different types of people, where you can unlock that harmony, and that's where the real magic can happen on teams.
