No need for a map. \n• Listen to young alumni share their stories about building interdisciplinary careers\n• Learn to leverage LinkedIn to discover opportunities you did not know existed\n• Leverage Career Wayfinding and Strength Spotting to have your best career\n• What are micro-credentials anyway? How do I know they are employer approved?\n• Understand what your further education options are and how to harness them \nThese 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! \nMonday\, October 4\, 2021 – Find Direction and Building Your Career \nThursday\, October 7\, 2021 – Finding Purpose in Further Education
