📋 Agenda:
The event kicks off at 12:00 PM with check-in and a warm welcome. Participants can enjoy light refreshments while networking with fellow aspiring project managers, Custom Scholar coaches, and alumni.
🎟️ Registration & Ticketing:

At 12:30 PM, we’ll begin with an insightful session titled "Why Technical Project Management in 2025?" This talk will explore current job market trends, top-paying roles, and why this is the perfect time to pivot into or grow within the field.

By 1:00 PM, you’ll get a detailed overview of the 6-week bootcamp, including the weekly structure, learning outcomes, and support systems designed to take you from beginner to job-ready PM in less than two months.

At 1:30 PM, we’ll present a live demonstration of key tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and Slack—tools every modern project manager should know. You’ll see how they’re used in real-world project environments.

After the demo, we’ll break at 2:15 PM for refreshments and informal networking, giving you time to engage 1-on-1 with coaches and ask questions.

The session resumes at 2:45 PM with a focus on Career Services. We’ll walk you through the resume optimization process, LinkedIn profile enhancement, and interview prep that comes included with the bootcamp.

At 3:30 PM, we’ll break down the "Job Acquisition Blueprint", showing you exactly how we help students land their first or next project management job—even if they come from non-technical backgrounds.

At 4:00 PM, we’ll hear from past bootcamp alumni who will share their success stories, challenges they overcame, and tips on navigating the job market.

Finally, at 4:30 PM, we’ll close the session with a Q&A and enrollment assistance period. You’ll be able to speak directly with team members, explore payment options, and claim your free seat if you decide to register for the bootcamp.
