Careers Beyond Academia: Non-Linear Career Pathways Part 2 – Stories
Earth Science Womens Network Free Virtual Event: Careers Beyond Academia – Non-Linear Career Pathways Part 2 – Stories
Date: December 4 2024
Time: 1700 UTC
The second part in our two part series within the next instalment of our Careers Beyond Academia Series will be coming up in December!
Career pathways can take many forms and for the most part, never end up being linear. These sentiments are echoed through this article: https://eos.org/opinions/reimagining-stem-workforce-development-as-a-braided-river
We are excited to host three speakers who have all had non-linear career features to their career pathways thus far.
This is part 2 of a two part sub-series in the Careers Beyond Academia Webinar Series on nonlinear career pathways. Part 1 is during November. You can register for Part 1 here: https://eswnonline.org/careers-beyond-academia-non-linear-career-pathways-part-1-insights/ .
