2. Engagement - Attend industry events to gain Beyond the Classroom experiences

3. Connection - Establish industry connections that support student and contractor relationship building and career development

4. Continued Growth - Gain hands-on experience through industry internships, co-ops, and full-time roles with NECA contractors
