Join us for a life-changing expert-led virtual event aimed at keeping you focused on your current and future career goals.
Whether you’re stuck in a career rut due to Covid, or are using your newfound downtime to seek new opportunities, it’s always helpful to have a goal to focus on.
In partnership with Springboard+, Ireland’s upskilling initiative led by the Higher Education Authority (HEA), IMAGE is hosting a free virtual event on August 13, giving you a chance to seize back control of 2020.
From the comfort of your own home, tune in to Niamh Ennis, a change and transformation specialist, Dr Vivienne Patterson, head of skills and engagement at the HEA and Claire McGee, head of education and innovation policy at IBEC, where they’ll cover a host of topics from the practical to the empowering about the future of work.
IMAGE group contributing editor Melanie Morris will moderate the information-rich panel.
WHEN: Thursday, August 13 at 8pm
Can’t make 8pm? No problem, the session will be available on demand for a limited time after we go live
WHERE: The comfort of your own home
HOW TO ACCESS: We will provide you with a link to access just before going live on Thursday, August 13
If this sounds like the kind of thing you need right now, take a look at the topics we’ll cover:
Getting back to work: Whether at home or outside; tools to strengthen mindset and productivity; the role of routine; and the importance of self care and management.
The power of the pivot: So much has changed in such a short space of time, so we’ll address ways to upskill, stay relevant, and find new fire.
New horizons: Scanning your future career options and how to access information on the up-and-coming sectors.
Higher education: The advantages of adult learning and retraining; how to pick the right course; virtual versus in-class learning; the potential that comes from new qualifications.
Making it affordable: Free subsided Higher Education courses available and how to apply.
On the night, we’ll have plenty of informed insight, first-hand experience and case studies to share, plus through dedicated hashtags, we’ll answer as many of your questions as possible.
