Passport to Future Technology Leadership
PFTL is a program to enhance skills and create opportunities for doctoral students interested in industry careers who contribute to the diversity and excellence of our community.
“WHEN I STARTED GRADUATE SCHOOL, I knew that my long-term career path would always involve entrepreneurship; but while the destination was certain, I did not have a clear path on how to get there. Joining the Passport to Future Technology Leadership (PFTL) allowed me to find a community of graduate students interested in non-academic careers and discover opportunities to strengthen my professional network outside of traditional research settings. ”
