New Opportunities from Wayfair.
Recently, Wayfair has partnered with ScholarJet to help undergrad students get jobs through competitions that also award scholarships. There will be one winner, but anyone who competes will be considered for a potential internship, co-op or full-time entry-level position.
Last semester, Rapid7 sponsored a competition called Rising Coding Star and a student from UMass Lowell won $2,000 and is being considered for employment simply by showcasing his coding skills. I’m hoping to extend these opportunities to your students as well. Please feel free to forward this email to your students and let me know if you have any questions.
