Career Tales: Moving between sectors

27 April 2022, 5pm-6.15pm

Have you considered working in a different sector? And perhaps wondered how easy or hard it is to make the move?

Three people working in different sectors will share their experiences with us. Which sectors did they move to and from? Why did they make the move? How did they prepare for the move? What learning points would they share with others?

You will have an opportunity to put your questions to the speakers after their talks.
