Arts and Science Connections: A deconstructed conference about career possibilities

Create your own conference by attending one, a few or all six presentations, workshops and panels that have been carefully chosen and thoughtfully packaged to create “Arts and Science Connections: A Deconstructed Conference about Career Possibilities”.

“Wayfinding is the ancient art of figuring out where you are going when you don’t actually know your destination. For wayfinding, you need a compass, and you need a direction. Not a map – a direction … Wayfinding your life is similar. Since there’s no one destination in life, you can’t put your goal into your GPS and get the turn-by-turn directions for how to get there.” – Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, Designing Your life

Broaden your perspective and learn how to find your way and build your unique career path with a compass and a direction. No need for a map.

• Listen to young alumni share their stories about building interdisciplinary careers
• Learn to leverage LinkedIn to discover opportunities you did not know existed
• Leverage Career Wayfinding and Strength Spotting to have your best career
• What are micro-credentials anyway? How do I know they are employer approved?
• Understand what your further education options are and how to harness them

These events are open to ALL students and U of G alumni who have a talent, passion and curiosity for the arts and sciences and wish to learn more about career building!
