Call for Presentations

​

We invite you to contribute your insight, your story, and your practical wisdom to the Create Your Own Brand Certification Program — a free, global online initiative empowering students and early-career professionals to strengthen their personal and professional identity.

​

We’re looking for presentation proposals that teach real skills, share real experiences, and equip young people to take real action. If your expertise can help someone level up, stand out, or get ahead, we want to hear from you.

​

What We’re Looking For

Think concrete, practical, experience-based sessions such as:

• How to build a professional network from zero
  (Not theory — the specific steps you took, what worked, what failed, and what you’d do differently.)

• How to find the right mentor — and make them want to mentor you

• How to secure competitive internships
  (How you approached companies, how you communicated, how you differentiated yourself.)

• How to craft a personal brand that actually opens doors

• How to present yourself online
  (LinkedIn, personal websites, professional portfolios, video introductions.)

• How to communicate with confidence in interviews, meetings, and emails

• Lessons learned the hard way
  (What you wish someone had told you when you were 18, 22, or 25.)
   

Your contribution doesn’t need to be academic or formal. We value honest guidance, actionable tips, and real stories that can help someone take the next step toward their career goals.

 

Why Contribute?

• You’ll shape the next generation of professionals.

• You’ll share your expertise with a global audience.

• You’ll receive a certificate recognizing your contribution to the program.

• You’ll help young people avoid mistakes you’ve already made.

If you have something meaningful to share — big or small — we want your proposal. Your experience might be exactly what someone else needs to hear to change their direction, find an opportunity, or build the confidence to move forward.

 

These contributions will be curated and transformed into an online certificate program by Virscend University and the Association of Global Educators, and will be offered to everyone completely free of charge.
 

Help us empower the next generation. Submit your presentation proposal today.

 

This is a free, online certification program with live sessions streamed on YouTube and the official program website. Hosted by the SBIR Center at Virscend University, Irvine, California, USA.​
