UXPA International Mentorship Program
The next cohort for the UXPA International Mentorship program will start in July!
- Do you have 5+ years of experience? Are you interested in being a mentor? Shoot an email to mentorship@uxpa.org!
- Are you interested in having a mentor? Are you a member of UXPA International (or willing to become a member?) Shoot an email to mentorship@uxpa.org.
We’ll also actually send out the formal call when it comes through the UXPA International channels – but in the meantime feel free to reach out to mentorship@uxpa.org.
Jobs!!!
Did you know that UXPA International has a job board?!?!
- There’s even a Sr UX Researcher position in Kalamazoo if you’re looking for something new…
- Wanna hang out around Ann Arbor and make a large impact on an old industry? Then Thomson Reuters might be your jam!
- They’re looking for a UX Designer – for someone starting out in their UX career
- And not one but two Senior UX designer roles (Sr UX #1, Sr UX #2) – we were going to make a Dr. Seuss joke here but restrained ourselves.
