Message to Role Models & Leaders
As much as Korean-American students want to invest in their future, our pathway to success is often limited to academics.
No matter how hard we study, we still lack access to internships and real-world work experiences. We need people to share their success with us, and open up doors to provide connections.
When professionals provide insight into their everyday work, young Korean-Americans will benefit tremendously by connecting with successful individuals in their fields, learning from their experiences, and exploring different career paths.
In this way, we’ll help each other towards higher positions in all industries and achieve more as a community.
