Employer panel session – hear directly what skills employers want

In this interactive panel session you’ll have an opportunity to hear directly from a selection of employers about their professional experience.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Be aware of increased career pathways beyond aca-demia

• Know useful sources for career information and job searching
• Had the opportunity to have their questions an-swered real-time by an employer
