As professionals in fields that may require deep subject-matter expertise, whether it be science, law, policy, or engineering, we can find ourselves in highly specialized roles that may not always align with evolving opportunities. In times of change, many are exploring how to apply their skills in new ways. This virtual workshop will focus on navigating cross-sector career transitions, identifying transferable skills, reframing professional narratives, and building a focused networking strategy.
