Members Only Quarterly Meetup

Description:

Here’s an opportunity to meet other members in fast-paced conversations focused on the joys and challenges of our industry.  Join hosts Liz Nover &  Marc deGuzman and rotate through breakout conversation rooms – different people in each room –to share thoughts and experiences on these hot topics affecting all of us today:

• What are you seeing in the job market? Too many jobs? Too few? Competition in the hundreds and thousands for remote positions? And what happened to all those contract positions?
• How easy/hard is it to break out of your industry?
• As a professional, can you be good at skills/knowledge learning AND also good at leadership/career learning?
• What is your information-gathering process, what is most important to you when a project is new?
• How do you work? What skills serve you best? What are your favorite tools and apps?

This is a great opportunity to learn and meet other L&D Philly members! You'll also hear about the benefits of membership, upcoming events, and projects in the pipeline.
