I've read a bit on the HBCU CDM Conference and it's kinda caught my eye. Does anyone know what typically goes on during this conference, and how it could benefit someone looking to go into digital media? Would love to hear from anyone who’s been part of it!
The HBCU CDM (Historically Black Colleges and Universities Career Development Marketplace) Conference is an event that aims to connect students from HBCUs with opportunities in various industries, including digital media. Typically, the conference includes workshops, panel discussions, and networking sessions with professionals and recruiters from companies and organizations interested in diverse talent. Participants gain insights into career pathways, industry trends, and can often participate in job interviews or internships recruiting efforts.
For someone interested in digital media, the HBCU CDM Conference could be highly beneficial as it could open doors to internships, mentorships, and potentially employment after graduation. Attendance can also expose you to new tools, technologies, and practices in the digital media field.
Plus, it's an excellent opportunity to build a network with peers and professionals who share your interests. If you decide to go, make sure to have an updated resume and portfolio of any relevant work you've done in digital media to make the most out of the conference, as someone might be interested in hiring you!
