SPARK Boston + GA Boston Present: Switching Gears / Changing Careers | Boston

About this event

Among Boston’s thriving millennial scene, many young adults have aspirations to develop their skill sets to be better positioned for long-term success in their organization and community. Join SPARK Boston for a discussion to help answer a burning question: What’s the best way to explore potential careers or career paths?

Why it matters?
Jobs and skill sets are rapidly changing. A third of the critical competencies today won’t be valuable in five years. Technology is changing the way we work, and as a result, new careers are emerging.

This event will help answer tops questions including, how can I explore new careers without alarming my current employer? What concrete steps can I take to understand and position my transferable skills? How can I prepare for a radical career change?

What you’ll take away?
Join our panelists to hear their own experiences of changing careers, building new skills, and staying relevant. This event will include a panel discussion, but will also include small breakout discussions to increase interaction between panelists and attendees.
