LEAP Program · Meet real professionalsNetworking events, guest speakers, and panels where members meet professionals in the career they actually want — and build the connections that lead to mentors and internships.
Most students don't meet anyone who works in their dream career until college — or later. LEAP Networking Events put that room in front of you now. Professionals come to talk about what they do, how they got there, and what they wish they'd known in high school.
Every event is free, student-run, and built for students who are just getting started. No connections or experience needed — just curiosity and a few good questions.
A professional from the field visits your chapter to share their path, a day in their job, and real advice — followed by open Q&A.
Several professionals answer questions side by side, so you can compare different paths into the same career.
Smaller, relaxed meetups where members talk one-on-one with professionals, mentors, and alumni.
Meet professionals who can answer your questions and guide you as you plan your next steps.
The people you meet are often the first to know about internships, shadowing, and summer programs.
Practice introducing yourself and asking good questions in a friendly, low-pressure room.
Networking Events run through LEAP chapters. Pick a career chapter in your field, or join your school's chapter.
Your chapter announces upcoming speakers, panels, and networking nights.
Bring a few questions about the career you're interested in. That's all the prep you need.
Thank the people you met and stay in touch — that's how a conversation becomes a mentor.
If you'd like to share your career with students as a guest speaker or panelist, we'd love to hear from you.
