Careers in Technology Summer Series 2024 - Virtual Panel Discussion
The Careers in Technology (CIT) virtual career panel consists of a group of industry leaders and experts who interact directly with the participants in a moderated Q&A session. In this way, participants gain insight into what the technology community considers valuable (skills, certifications, experience, etc.) so that they can better prepare for a career change or entry into a technology-related career. The participants of the Summer 2024 virtual panel are Marie Perry, Paul Carney and Radhika Kanubaddhi - you can find their bios below.
Note: While the Careers in Tech Organizing Committee is exploring offering PDH for virtual sessions going forward, that effort is still in progress. As a result, we will be unable to offer PDH for this session, but expect to be able to do so in the near future.
