Overview
At Fehr & Peers, we value industry participation and understand that a career in transportation planning offers opportunities to make meaningful impacts on how individuals experience travel within their communities. Career Insights began as a webinar-based forum for up-and-coming transportation consultants to learn more about the industry and have some of their burning questions answered. From program’s start in 2016, we committed to making sure those answers were unfiltered—objective, transparent, and unbiased. With that spirit in mind, our program now offers webinars, training programs, and resources to students at various points in their careers. Students have the opportunity to learn from and talk to both Fehr & Peers professionals and other industry representatives outside of the company. We look forward to connecting with you!
