There Are STEM Careers You’ve Never Heard Of—Get An Inside Look At Them With WayUp

Join us as we learn from these industry insiders on November 1 at WayUp’s NYC headquarters in the Flatiron District or watch from home as we stream on Facebook Live.

RSVP today and get the best seats in the house for food, networking, insider insights, and more.

If you’re in college (or recently graduated), then you know it’s hard to go 15 minutes on a campus before hearing someone talk about the importance of STEM skills and how STEM majors are going to get all the best jobs. The only problem is, everyone seems to think a STEM job means only working for the same small group of Silicon Valley tech giants.

This totally ignores what it means to be in STEM.

STEM talent is a group of analytical thinkers who use hard skills like programming, scientific research, statistics, and more to solve the most pressing problems in every industry. STEM people change the way the world works by showing people how its parts can work differently—whether that’s through chemistry or computer science.

That means STEM majors can work at nearly every major company—not just the app giants of the world. Want to know how? Well, thanks to L’Oréal, you can find out just the right way to make your dream career in STEM come alive.

Join us for a panel featuring a Project Manager in L’Oréal’s Tech Incubator, a Scrum Master at Travelers, and a FinTech mastermind from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. While none of these companies might jump to mind when you hear the word “tech,” all of them give STEM majors amazing opportunities to make an impact.

These three people have taken their STEM degrees and broken free from the stereotypical tracks of their fields. They’ve innovated and utilized the skills they learned in school to forge incredible new career paths for themselves—and they’re going to tell you how you can, too.
