Alumni Career Panel: Landing a Tech Job in an AI-Powered Market

AI is transforming nearly every industry, but technical knowledge alone isn’t what sets professionals apart. Join Allegheny alumni for a discussion on how the tech workforce is changing, the skills employers value most, and what it actually takes for a new computing grad to land that first job in this market. Panelists will share how to make the most of your CMPSC coursework and projects to build real leverage with employers, how to build adaptable, successful careers in an AI-powered world, and practical advice for standing out as a candidate when AI is reshaping entry-level hiring.
