What is Bootcamp?

It's a jam-packed program that incorporates peer learning and networking. You'll be able to connect with other members and learn from their experiences, all while gaining invaluable insights into NACRO best practices for holistic university corporate relations.

Bootcamp is the perfect fit for a range of professionals, including new corporate relations (CR) professionals with less than three years of experience, those new to higher education, new NACRO members, and even individuals who are considering becoming CR professionals. And don't worry if you're not a newbie - there's always something to learn and new perspectives to consider. After all, CR is not a 'one size fits all.' Whether you represent your entire campus, a specific school, or spend 100% vs. 20% of your time on corporate relations, the best practices shared in this session can help improve your university's approach to corporate engagement.

When does Bootcamp take place?

Bootcamp takes places twice per year. We offer a virtual Bootcamp in February, followed by an in-person Bootcamp just before the start of the Annual Conference in July.
