Restart your career. Here.
Two steps forward, two steps back. Sometimes detours happen in our well-planned lives. If you have had a break in your science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) career and are now ready to get back in the game, let CDM Smith help you restart your career by participating in our career re-entry program. Partnering with the Society of Women Engineers and iRelaunch, we are offering a 16-week program each January through April for those who left their career for 2+ years and are now wanting to return. This is a paid, full time temporary opportunity to help you train and rejoin peers in your field. We value your unique perspective that enables us to make a greater difference in the world, for our clients and for our employees.
In 2022, we began offering two tracks of the program that run concurrently: STEM Career Reboot and Veteran Career Reboot. See more details below!
Hear about the Reboot experience from our CEO Tim Wall, past Reboot participants and Reboot Program Managers Julie Lucas and Rob Hamilton. It's never too late!
