What is NEST Flight?
Careers, Culture & Community to Help You Fly
NEST Flight is an invitation-only event packed with inspiring speakers, hands-on workshops, powerful panel discussions and one of a kind networking opportunities — all crafted to help students like you propel their careers, no matter where you are in your job exploration!
Your Career: Let’s Do This
We see you. You’re smart, talented and deeply motivated to create a meaningful career and kick-ass life. Your career plan is a work in progress and with the right opportunity you're going to make it happen! That’s what NEST Flight is all about. People, ideas, and ways to take the next step in your career path, so you can be ready to land that dream job.
Your Community:
We’ve Got Your Back
You’re going to school and doing the work to build a career you feel good about, but you don’t have to do it alone. We’re a community of professionals, mentors and peers ready to push open the doors of opportunity for you, just as others did for us.
Your Cultura: The Real You
Your culture, education, life experiences, talents, family, friends and the place you call home — they’re all important to your career because they all make up who you are. You don’t have to put away these parts of yourself to be "professional." You can show up as your whole self and make powerful professional contributions based on the insight your experiences give you.
