‟ The Alumni organization has existed since 2006 and it exists so that the valuable experiences that we have gained in North America can still come of use in other ways than just contributing to our engineering skills. ”

A letter from CETAC Alumni (current CESIP Alumni)
My own first contact with CETAC came the first year of the engineering physics program at Chalmers. I heard that it was possible to do an internship at NASA through CETAC without having to be born a genius or without having some extraordinary industry contacts. The dream started for me right then and there. Fast forward two years and I am in the midst of selling advertisements for the trainee report, working with my resume and it looks as if the dream is coming closer and maybe even come true. Fast forward another 6 months or so and I am actually there, checking in at NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre in the US and about to start working for NVI Inc. Wow, is the word I keep thinking to myself.
To me, the above is what CETAC is all about – it is a chance for us Chalmerists to pursue goals and dreams that we might have, and to get to experience a working culture other than our own. And to meet amazing people of course. Which leads me to the purpose of this text: the CETAC Alumni organization.
The Alumni organization has existed since 2006 and it exists so that the valuable experiences that we have gained in North America can still come of use in other ways than just contributing to our engineering skills. That use might be utilizing the Alumni network when looking for a new position in our careers or simply sharing memories and ideas with another CETAC Alumni at a dinner meeting. The applications for the Alumni network are many but the main purpose is to be a social platform for former CETAC members.
With that said I invite all CETAC members to join CETAC Alumni after your time in North America! Hope to see you on our next get-together!
