Student Member FAQ

Can I stay in IGNITE when I finish high school and go to college?

Yes, most definitely. Many Students who started with IGNITE in high school have since graduated from college and gone on to careers in engineering and technology. Throughout their journey, they have continued their involvement with IGNITE and helped the next generation of students.

Can I still be a part of IGNITE after I graduate?

Of course! Graduates of the IGNITE student program make up a very important part of IGNITE.

As an IGNITE graduate, you can still access the many resources for students, such as job and internship opportunities, that will continue to help you along in your chosen career path. You are still eligible to do Job Shadows and connect with Professional Members who will continue to mentor you as your future unfolds.
