Students will gain insight into recognizing when itâs time for a change, how to leverage transferable skills, what it takes to enter a new industry, and how to stay adaptable in an evolving professional landscape.
This open and conversational Q&A will highlight real-world experiences, lessons learned, and the unexpected opportunities that can come from embracing a new direction.
