2019 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Engineers Can Do Anything: Explore Your Passions and Catalyze Your Potential to Create Your Unicorn Career

As an engineering-educated professional, you have a lot more career opportunities than you realize. The key is being able to identify and articulate your unique value and problem-solving abilities to diverse decision-makers. In this presentation, we will address the unique skill set that you have mastered simply by pursuing a degree in engineering and we will discuss ways in which we can communicate that value to others who can make a difference in your career opportunities. We will address ways to amplify your brand (your promise of value) and your reputation and we will delve into avenues that allow you to recognize your potential and align it with your passion for a truly satisfying and exciting career. Case studies of STEM professionals who have designed their own novel career paths will be shared. This presentation is especially useful for early-career engineers who are about to graduate!
