Annual Professional Development Bootcamp January 27-31, 2020

FUEL helps young professionals connect to each other and their community – making it more likely for them to stay. FUEL’s annual Professional Bootcamp Series, held each winter, provides thought leadership on a wide variety of topics – from team-building to developing emotional intelligence. New this fall, FUEL will be offering a financial literacy series. Based on feedback from its members, many young professionals are seeking guidance when it comes to issues like saving for retirement, planning a home purchase, or entering the stock market.

FUEL helps YPs fall in love with MKE through networking and social events throughout the city.
