  • Creating Developmentally Appropriate Early Career Programming for the Adolescent Brain 

  Adolescence is said to last well into one’s twenties, and that means in our work – with undergraduates, new alumni, and graduate students — we often work with students whose brains are still under construction. How can we use brain science to design services that meet students where they are in their development?

  This session is inspired by Sarah-Jayne Blakemore’s “The mysterious workings of the adolescent brain” TED Talk and will feature global students who will share what has influenced and informed their career decisions. Delegates will discuss how adolescent brain development impacts student decision making and how to create effective approaches to early career education/programming.

  09:15 – 12:00  Morning session:

  • Cultivating Curiosity to Navigate the Unimaginable Future of Work

  The emergence of Big Data and AI. The need for sustainability. Growing demand for social justice. Political and economic volatility. A global pandemic. These domains have and continue to disrupt our routines, campus life, and workforce roles. What are the next big shifts and how will they affect the world of work? That is a trick question: no one truly knows! The only certainty is that change is inevitable. It is against this backdrop of uncertainty that this session emphasizes approaches to navigating the unimaginable future while also touching on topics of emerging career competencies for students and career services leaders.

  12:00 – 13:00  Lunch

  13:00 – 17:00 Afternoon session:

  • Integrating career development and employability across campus

  As career services around the globe increasingly look to ecosystem models to increase both the scale and depth of student preparation, great examples of career services integration on campuses are both emerging and becoming more established. This session will highlight specific examples in order to explore ways that career services can integrate more broadly and deeply with the academic curriculum, use technology and data systems to facilitate integration, and consider additional factors such as physical space that can enhance integration.

  The Employer Insight Day at the Global Career Services Summit is an opportunity for leaders of career services offices and leaders in early talent recruiting to discuss some of the more challenging issues facing universities and employers as they recruit university students. The day will include a keynote followed by panel presentations and roundtable discussions on best practices in DEI-B, technology utilization, campus partnerships, and labour markets developments from North America, UK, Ireland, Australia, Europe, etc. A hallmark of all of the Global Career Services Summit events is ample time for small group discussion with global peers in an effort to create relationships to solve our biggest challenges.
