About this event
This event will allow participants to keep abreast of their professional development through several thought industry led sessions that will highlight the ways in which student and graduates can stand out and succeed in the tech world.
Continued professional development can deliver a deeper understanding of what it means to be a professional and ensures that the knowledge stays relevant and up to date within the industry.
Session One: Certification Presentation
Session Two: Navigating Your Career in a Fast-Changing Technology Industry
The fast-changing technology industry presents many exciting opportunities as well as challenges for IT professionals. In particular, building a successful technology career is daunting due to the continuously evolving technologies and the need to learn new skills at a rapid pace. In such a dynamic environment predicting the future career choices can be a futile exercise. However, the IT professionals can equip themselves with the right foundational skills, attributes and personality traits to gain adequate flexibility to navigate the career in any direction the industry may take.
Session Three: LinkedIn Digital Competency – Creating Your Digital Footprint
LinkedIn is a tool for building your network, your career and your profile – both internally and externally, so you can attract the opportunities that are aligned with your goals. With over 15 million Australians on LinkedIn, how do you stand out? How do you showcase your ACS membership? How do you choose an engagement, curation and creation strategy? What steps do you need to take to go from digital literacy to digital competency in the online presence world? How does LinkedIn fit into your overall digital footprint? Learn all this and more and utilise the handout provided to dig even deeper.
In attending this event you will receive 3 CPD hours if all 3 sessions are attended. You are still required to complete all event reports during the Professional Environments online course to document your participation and key learning outcomes for these professional development events.
ALL 3 SESSIONS MUST BE ATTENDED TO RECEIVE 3 CPD HOURS.
