About BoothEd

BoothEd's mission is to further the professional and personal interests of Booth students in the education sector and the future of work. BoothEd equips our members with the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to make an impact in the education and workforce development sectors. We do this by supporting the career searches of students in the education and workforce development industries; raising awareness of opportunities and challenges in the blossoming education technology and future of work space; and supporting other events that address topics at the intersection of business and education. The group's scope spans charter school management organizations; edtech/HR tech; education and workforce development-focused venture funds and incubators; traditional public school districts; education-related publishing and content providers; tutoring and test-prep organizations; higher education; education/workforce focused foundations; for-profit education companies; education service providers.

BoothEd hopes to have a particular focus on education technology and the future of work. We aim to center our programming around the following four focus areas.

Focus Areas:

1. Awareness around Education & Future of Work

What are the most prescient issues? How did they come to be? What efforts are being made to rectify these issues? What are the emerging trends?

2. Careers in Education post-MBA & Networking with Employers

What job opportunities are available to MBAs in the education field in the short term and long term?

3. Volunteering in Chicago

What partnerships and volunteer opportunities with the greater Chicago education/workforce development community are available to Boothies?

4. Community

Do Boothies have a community they can reach out to about the education and workforce development space?
