The Future of Work Academy (FOWA) student experience at the second annual HBCU Technology Conference presented by HP and sponsored by Intel and Microsoft took place virtually September 13-16, 2022.

This year’s FOWA experience featured a “career accelerator” filled with tips to help prepare students for internship and job interviews and building a professional social profile and the opportunity to apply for internships; an interactive symposium with technical learning and career readiness sessions; and the opportunity to participate in a bot-a-thon, esports, health IT, or marketing-focused “innovation incubator” student competitions.

The conference might be over, but the symposium sessions are still available. If you missed a session, want to view sessions again, or want to share sessions with other HBCU students who might not have registered for the conference, it’s not too late. You can view over sessions such as:
