Gain Valuable Experience
We’re not saying practice makes perfect, but it sure helps when it comes to interviewing (at least with the nerves). At QWCC, you will get to complete a technical in per-son and phone interview to practice developing your interviewing skills. Our engineers will also provide feedback and tips on how to best articulate your thoughts and approach problems, making it easier to nail the job you want in the future.

Build Connections
At QWCC, our goal is to connect women who share the same passion for compu-ting with the resources, knowledge, and network to help them succeed.
Networking
By hearing from executive speakers, technical gurus, and your student peers, you will be exposed to an impactful group of current and future leaders.
Mentoring
“QWCC allowed me to meet many passionate women in my field, both peers and those already in the work force, who served as role models.”
- 2014 Participant, UCSD

Conferences are a great way to get exposed to a lot of information, but at QWCC, we want to also help you forge meaningful relationships with key industry con-tacts. During the conference, you will be paired with a mentor who can share more personal insight and advice on our industry.

Experience the Future of Mobile
The next generation of mobile technology is changing the way the world shares ideas and information. It’s ushering in the next evolution of everything and connecting us in ways we never imagined. Check out some of the latest projects Qualcomm is working on in the mobile space, while learning what skills are required to keep pushing these technologies forward.
