Growing in Government Meetup

Growing in Government is a dedicated meetup for early career state employees to build confidence and community with one another. Join us for a low pressure and free flowing experience that offers self-guided, skill building, and knowledge sharing activities to help attendees grow professionally.

In state service career spaces, it is rare for young professionals to meet peers who share their age group and experience level. This changes that by filling a crucial gap in government culture. Through intentional, self-guided activities, participants strengthen professional skills and connect with a network of public servants who are growing together. 

This event is designed for professionals in the early stages of their career with less than 5 years of experience.

• Ask an Expert Corner: Get real-time guidance from seasoned DIR professionals. From navigating workplace challenges, to gaining confidence as the new voice in the room. This is your chance to get insights that matter.

• Group Think Board: Throughout the event, collaborate with fellow attendees by contributing ideas and solutions to a real-world challenge. 
• Elevate Your Profile: Stop by for a free professional headshot! Perfect for leveling up your LinkedIn profile.
