What is TPDI?

The Triangle Professional Development Institute (TPDI) began in 2020 as a response to COVID-19 impact on the job and internship market. TPDI was intended to connect expert alumni with experience hiring in their respective fields to job- or internship-seeking actives looking to enter those fields. The inaugural TPDI connected nearly 30 pairs of Brothers for resume/cover letter reviews and mock interviews. 

This year, we seek to improve the TPDI experience by leveraging online tools, identifying even more quality alumni volunteers, and connecting more Brothers to professional development and networking opportunities. Participation is free and open to all Triangle Brothers.
