The Skills Employers Want, and the Support to Get You There

Students at Harvard graduation holding an extension school sign.

What are employers actually looking for right now?

If I go back to school, will it be worth it, and will I have support along the way?

These are the questions we’ll answer in a virtual event on July 6.

Join us to learn directly from industry leaders from Microsoft, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Hasbro on how they are building and shaping teams today.

Filmed from Harvard Yard and across campus, this event also brings together Harvard Extension School leadership and student support professionals to help you understand how a Harvard education can fit into your life, strengthen your career, and connect you to a global community of ambitious learners.
