Ask the Experts Part 2: An Open Discussion with 3 Independent Consultants (IEEE-USA Free Livestream Event)

Join 3 experts from [IEEE-USA’s Alliance of IEEE Consultants’ Network Coordinating Committee (AICNCC)](https://ieeeusa.org/careers/consultants/about-aicncc/) as they continue to address live audience questions on all consulting issues. After our March program there were many questions the experts did not get a chance to address. The AICNCC has returned to answer those questions and new ones. Our target audience will be young professionals who are considering becoming a full-time independent consultant as well as professionals who may have experienced job loss during this pandemic and are considering entering the world of consulting.
