2022 Federal Training Institute Young Professional and Collegiate Symposium

The 2022 FTI Young Professional and Collegiate Symposium "Cultivating Talent for Tomorrow" is a two day symposium which seeks to bring together young professionals, college students, recent graduates, career services staff, professors, and parents to encourage and assist attendees in learning about the many educational and career opportunities that exist in the Federal Government.

The goal of the symposium is to cultivate our audience through the influencers (parents, career services staff, guidance counselors) and their peers to create a pipeline of talent for tomorrow. The realities of a rapidly retiring workforce require government agencies to reach out to audiences who can assist them with their missions and replace their retired workers. Students are ideally positioned to begin their career by taking advantage of the Pathways for Students and Recent Graduates (Internship Program, Presidential Management Fellows Program, Recent Graduates Programs) scholarship and fellowship opportunities. Getting students started in these positions will provide economic empowerment and greatly assist the federal government with its human resources needs.

The event will take place Tuesday, July 26th (8:30am - 4:00pm) and Wednesday, July 27th (8:30am - 4:00pm) and will be free of charge for all attendees.

The LULAC Young Professional and Collegiate Symposium event will take place as part of the LULAC Federal Training Institute during the 2022 National LULAC Convention & Exposition at the Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  This event is free of charge for all attendees.
