You Belong at the 2025 AdaMarie Career Navigation Summit
The path into STEM can be daunting. The opportunities are there — exciting roles in research, engineering, data, biotech, clean energy, and beyond — but the road to landing those opportunities isn’t always clear. Many graduates and career changers find themselves navigating the job search without clear guidance: How do you make your resume stand out? How do you negotiate your first salary? What if you want to pivot to another field or industry? These questions don’t always get answered in classrooms or labs.
At the same time, employers in STEM industries face their own challenges. They’re searching for fresh perspectives, innovative thinkers, and a workforce that reflects the diversity of the world we live in. Too often, however, traditional hiring pipelines don’t connect them with the candidates they need most: motivated, early- to mid-career professionals eager to build careers and make an impact.
The AdaMarie Career Navigation Summit exists to fill that gap. It’s a place where participants are seen not just as job seekers but as future leaders, innovators, and changemakers. It’s a place where employers can meet the next generation of STEM professionals and show them that they belong in the industry.
This isn’t simply about landing the next job — it’s about creating equitable pipelines for long-term success in STEM.
