Drake University College of Business and Public Administration is hosting a CEO Roundtable in conjunction with Pi515. This forum functions as the end of Pi515’s Giving Tuesday campaign with the goal of raising awareness to the existing gaps between graduating students and the workforce. Students and guests are invited to attend the event free of charge. As the proportion of Gen Z within the workforce continues to increase, it is imperative that youth students have the resources, knowledge and skills necessary to integrate into the workforce. Student attendees will have the opportunity to express their curiosity regarding workforce readiness and gain valuable insight from high-performing, successful individuals across multiple industries. We will have at least three executives at this hybrid event that will take place both on Drake’s campus in Parents Hall and through a Microsoft Teams Webinar.
