Career Discovery - TICKETED EVENT

This is a career planning workshop for technical professionals just starting their careers, mid-way through their careers, or in the twilight of their careers. This workshop uses the AIChE Career Discovery™ approach as part of the AIChE Institute for Learning and Innovation (ILI). Workshop participants will discover their current work talents as input to career planning and identify job opportunity gaps as possible career futures that are a fit with work talents and skill interests. Workshop participants will also start the development of a Five Futures career development plan. Changing jobs over the course of a career used to be a choice of the few 30 years ago. Increasingly, changing jobs over the course of a career is a necessity by the many. According to a LinkedIn study, people who graduated between 2006 and 2010 averaged 2.85 jobs in the five years after graduation, compared to 1.6 for people who graduated between 1986 and 2000. Further, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the average employee will work at nearly nine different jobs over the course of their career. This career planning workshop uses a Five Futures Career Discovery approach proven effective in both industrial and academic settings.
