The Career Discovery Forum for Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital will be held in Room 50 from 1 :00 PM to 7:30 PM on September 8, 2006. This one-day event is designed to provide students an opportunity to learn more about MBA careers in venture capital and entrepreneurship. Keynote speakers and panel discussions will allow you to gain insight and perspectives on VC careers, including the skills and qualifications companies seek when hiring MBAs. Additionally, after the panel discussions, a reception as well as information tables will give you a chance to meet Darden alumni and senior staff from a variety of companies. The presentations and panel sessions are designed to help students understand questions such as: What are entrepreneurial or venture capital career paths like? What are the skills, traits, and experiences that are needed? When is it the right time to step into such a role: immediately after graduation or later in a career? The Darden Career Development Center (CDC) encourages students to get involved in all aspects of the Career Discovery Forum. By taking time to speak with panelists and Second Year students and listen to diverse panel discussions, First Year students will be able to able to further validate their career objective and build their personal career plan. There is much to learn and explore at the Forum, and it will help students gain valuable insights and meet exciting new people.
