PMIWIC’s Annual Career Panel is our premiere evening event – kicking off each year with a fresh perspective on professional development, career trends and just the basic do’s and don’t’s of career management provided by local industry leaders and specialists.
The primary goal of the PMIWIC Annual Career Panel is to provide attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue, succeed and grow in their respective professions. Project Managers particularly, will take away skills and knowledge that will support professional project management career goals.
PMIWIC sources panelists from multiple industries such as Healthcare, Labor, Energy, Technology, Professional Services, etc. This year, our panelists will discuss the impact the post-pandemic era is having on work from home options in terms of where employees live, remote hiring/remote work, and re-engineering the work space. Additionally, they will answer questions regarding what the future holds in terms of hiring trends, industry needs, etc. and what we can do to prepare accordingly.
