Professional Development (PD) Treks are a chance to join existing community events to network, learn, and start the process of finding your place in the professional community. The first PD Trek was to Pitch Breakfast, a monthly event at the Packard Place Garage which provides start-up companies with the opportunity to pitch to the audience and a professional panel. The pitch is followed by feedback from the panelists and questions from the audience. Belk College of Business student Miguel Avila joined us at Pitch Breakfast but also works for Start Charlotte and covered the event! Read his write-up here.
The next PD Trek is coming up quickly on Friday, October fifth. This PD Trek will be to Creative Mornings, also a monthly event that features networking, a featured speaker and theme for the month, and more. To read more about Creative Mornings, check out their about page. This month, the theme is Honesty and the guest speakers are Page Fehling and Jason Harper of Good Day Charlotte.
The theme for this fall’s PD Treks is entrepreneurship. For a start- up business, successfully pitching is undeniably important, but so is building your network and finding your community. In this second PD Trek, you will get a taste of just one of Charlotte’s communities, but it is a supportive and very fun one!
Space is very limited, so sign up soon if you would like to join. Transportation will be provided from the school.
