A key measure of a productive tech ecosystem is the successful transition of new graduates from academia into industry. With academia focusing on building a broader knowledge base, industry-readiness of students for a successful transition necessitates dynamically evolving industry-academia collaborations. This 2-event series initiated by IEEE Women in Engineering Rochester focuses on working with local partners towards the common goal of creating awareness, addressing challenges, and promoting retention of talent within the local tech ecosystem; a key focus is on DIVERSITY & INCLUSION.
