About

Traditional career paths, once linear and predictable, are quickly becoming obsolete as economic shifts, caregiving responsibilities, and rapid technological advancements reshape the professional landscape.

As a modern professional, adaptability is key to thriving in this dynamic environment.

From unexpected pauses to strategic pivots to embracing encore careers, the new career trajectory is anything but straight. Join us for this session to explore the unconventional twists and turns that your career journey may entail.

What to expect:

During edX Elevate, we aim to amplify the voices of our community. These 60-minute interactive Q&A sessions will feature both back-and-forth conversation between our moderator and industry speakers, as well as opening up the floor to you for “Ask me anything” (AMA) style participation. As always, we invite you to actively engage through the chat and Q&A features.

How to Prepare:

  •  Research speakers and topics.
  •  Prepare questions for Q&A (if applicable).
  •  Explore networking opportunities.
  •  Have your note-taking tools ready.

**Please note YOUR time zone for the event start time**
