Exploring Unexpected Careers in STEM and Innovation With WayUp Office Hours

WayUp presents: Exploring Careers in STEM and Innovation

What does it mean to work in STEM? If you’re in college right now or keeping an eye on media, it seems like all anyone can talk about is working for a startup or a Silicon Valley tech giant. But these aren’t your only options.

Innovation, analysis, and a logical approach to problem solving (hallmarks of the STEM skill set) are useful at all types of companies and in a ton of different roles. Skincare and beauty companies need scientists and engineers. Banks need programmers and data scientists. Every industry is being disrupted by STEM innovations, and there are so many different ways to be a part of it.

For our most recent Office Hours—WayUp’s signature, totally FREE panel event—we gathered some of the brightest minds in some of the most unexpected and interesting roles in STEM to tell you how to build your dream career.

NYC college students were invited to attend the WayUp X L’Oréal USA event at our Flatiron district headquarters in NYC. Check out the livestream now to see what surprising insights, funny-yet-inspiring stories, and more these guests shared with an audience of college students just like you.
