The headquarters of Brad’s Deals is the place to be tomorrow morning, when Startup Institute Chicago hosts its Third Ever Student TalentExpo. It's here that students from our summer cohort will pitch themselves for 60-seconds to a roomful of prospective employers from Chicago’s hottest startup and high-tech companies.
After eight weeks of intensive training in one of four disciplines - Web Development, Product & Design, Technical Marketing, or Sales & Account Management - these students have emerged with training in both the hard skills, but also the soft skills and startup acculturation necessary to succeed as an employee at a startup.
And we’re proud of them. These are students that have come from all professional walks of life: marketing analysts, graphic designers, Chicago Public School educators, architects, management consultants, you name it.
We’re also excited about hosting the TalentExpo at Brad’s Deals, a company that is a supporter and community member, and that just hired its first Startup Institute grad, Technical Marketing alumnus Noah Manion, as a SEM Specialist. Startup Institute has hosted its TalentExpo at two other meccas of awesome: Threadless and Centro, the latter of which has been voted Crain’s Chicago “Best Place to Work” for the last five years.
If you’re part of a company that’s ready to hire, and you’re looking for great talent, join us. If you’re curious about what we do and how you can get involved, join us. We’re always looking to build community, and we believe we’re helping to make this ecosystem better by training awesome talent and helping get them in front of great companies.
And if you’re not convinced, here is a fancy video about our first TalentExpo in December:
