Event Recap: Women in Technology Career Fair
This past week, Women in Technology (WIT) held a career fair at the TSQ ATL Clubhouse. The career fair and WIT’s primary goals are to empower and support women in securing fulfilling careers in the science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) fields.

There were 14 companies in attendance, including Brooksource, Capgemini, CGI, Cisco, Fiserv, Georgia Pacific, HD Supply, Insight Global, Norfolk Southern, Ware2G0, State Farm, Tier4 Group, Truist, and title sponsor The Home Depot.
