10:10 AM - 11:00 AM Lessons Learned from the Pandemic 1. Employer Panel Discussion This sneak peek provides career practitioners a look inside companies to see their operations and how we can best help students when looking at those organizations. 2. “Doing More With Less - Lessons Learned from the Pandemic” Since the pandemic started, most of us have had to pivot. Some faced budget cuts; the others had to reduce work hours or total number of staff. In this discussion, the facilitators will share ideas they developed and implemented in order to maximize the limited resources at hand. 11:10 AM - 12:00 PM Lindsey Pollak - Recalculating Join this fireside chat with Lindsey Pollak on the topic of Recalculating: Navigate Your Career Through the Changing World of Work.
