✔ Go to college. Or don’t.
✔ Get “good” grades if you do.
✔ Find a “good” job.
✔ Figure out what success looks like.
While the path to the workplace looks pretty straightforward, everyone’s experience is quite different.
This month’s Burning Issues Livestream featured two dynamic young professionals at different points on their career paths. We explored their specific experiences and take on preparing for success at work, including:
- How prepared did they feel entering the workplace?
- What has surprised them most?
- What would you tell your college professors/educators?
- How would you encourage workplaces/organizations in their support of young professionals?
Watch/share on any of the following platforms as well.
