Launch Your Career with Forté: Conference Opportunities for Bentley Students

Bentley University is proud to partner with Forté, a nonprofit organization committed to empowering those who identify as women to pursue meaningful careers through access to business education, professional development, and a vibrant community of successful professionals.

Each year, Forté hosts several in-person conferences designed to help students build leadership skills, explore career paths in business, and connect with peers, professionals, and top companies. As part of Bentley’s partnership, select students will have the opportunity to attend these conferences — with travel, lodging, and some food expenses fully covered by the university.
