NextGen Presents: Space
Graduates learning from graduates
Join us for the first session in our new NextGen Presents webinar series—designed by the NextGen Advisory Council to bring timely, practical conversations directly to Air Force Academy graduates.
This inaugural session focuses on Space and features three Falcons at different stages of the journey, sharing real-world insight on careers, industry trends, and lessons learned both in and out of uniform.
WHY THIS SERIES EXISTS
Over the past year, graduates told us they wanted more:
-
Professional development
-
Mentorship
-
Real-world career insight from fellow Falcons
NextGen Presents was created in direct response to that feedback—bringing relevant conversations, expert perspectives, and peer learning straight to you, wherever you are in your career.
