The Department of Computer Science and Engineering will partner with Prosper Lincoln and 12 local companies again this semester to bring students career opportunities in a unique event format.
The 12 companies will co-host six events during the months of January and February. Participating companies will include Hudl, Talent+, Don’t Panic Labs, Nelnet, Firespring, Ameritas, Spreetail, Pen-Link, Sandhills Publishing, and Assurity Life Insurance Company. This round of events will also include two companies that are new to the series: Nobl Health and opendorse.
The State of the Practice events are designed to provide computing and software engineering students the chance to explore organizations and available jobs in a relaxed setting. Each event includes a free dinner, a tour of the hosting office, and an opportunity for students to have casual conversations with employees.
While several of the organizations have participated in the event series previously, many of the events in this spring series will be held at new locations, including the offices of Nobl, Talent+ and Sandhills Publishing. Hudl has hosted two State of the Practice events previously, but this time will show off its new downtown headquarters with fellow sports technology company opendorse.
