Join us for an interactive skills workshop hosted by the ADS New Professionals Forum Special Interest Group.
This in-person event brings together like-minded peers for an afternoon of networking, learning and self-development. Whether you're looking to build confidence, understand your strengths or connect with like-minded professionals, this event offers valuable insights into career progression, leadership, and personal branding.
We will be providing a networking lunch first for you to make introductions and start to get to know the group. We then kick the session off with a quick icebreaker and fun Kahoot session to measure attitudes to a career in our sectors. We then head into a Fireside Chat to discuss how to improve your visibility to build your network whilst staying authentic. Afterwards we dive into self-discovery with a workshop looking at your own superpowers, helping you develop your own personal brand and giving you the knowledge to succeed.
