At The Wall Street Journal, we aim to give students the tools they need to navigate their professional and postgraduate paths. Which is why we are hosting our second WSJ Jobs Summit, a complimentary event designed to provide students and new graduates with a modern toolkit to navigate the complexities of the job market. Hear from a variety of industry leaders, including Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, and Laura Fennell, Intuit EVP and chief people and places office.

If you cannot attend all the sessions, I would recommend checking out the first session on "What's Up with the Economy" starting at 11:05am CT (if your schedule allows)

Session 1: WHAT’S UP WITH THE ECONOMY?
PART 1: Join the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, and The Wall Street Journal’s Chief Economics Correspondent Nick Timiraos as they discuss the state of the American economy, the potential impact on Main Street and how that will translate to jobseekers.
