Professional Resources

One of our key goals at You Are Needed is deepening a student's understanding of a career field through brief informational interview sessions directly with professionals working in that student’s area of interest. Our unique approach allows students to ask more detailed questions, learn valuable networking skills, and build relationships and connections that empower them to find their passion and grow their education towards a rewarding future career.
