Speeding Towards Success: Career Events
In order to promote employment opportunities for the TAU Alumni community, the TAU Alumni Organization developed the "Speeding Towards Success" series of career events, in collaboration with the TAU Career Development Center.
"Speeding Towards Success" addresses young alumni who have graduated in recent years, as well as students in their final year of study, from all TAU faculties.
The purpose of the series is to provide alumni with professional tools for career management, strengthening their "soft" skills (Public Speaking, Interpersonal Communication, Networking and more) and connecting them to influential factors in the industry.
These events are intended for TAU Alumni at every stage of their careers - from fresh alumni in their first steps into the world of employment, to experienced alumni seeking to develop their careers or to change direction in their career path. You can also read about our unique series of events, Academia Meets Industry.
Information on future events is published regularly on our website's events calendar, as well as on our Facebook page.
