About this Webinar:
The pursuit of a fulfilling career is a life-long commitment. At E4C, we’re constantly asked the question of how to professionally enter or transition into the field of engineering for global development. Engaging with a local Engineers Without Borders (EWB) team is a proven starting point.
EWB chapters exists worldwide under the umbrella of EWB-International and all share a similar mission – to partner with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through education and implementation of sustainable engineering projects. In this webinar, we will explore how EWB-USA, EWB-Australia, and EWB-UK prepare engineers for careers in global development in their own distinct ways.
In the webinar we will discuss:
