Career Development Strategies for Early Career Professionals
Instructors: Annalisa Moretti & Silvia Mejia
Description: This workshop aims to help new archivists navigate the job market, improve their prospects, and provide support during what can be a stressful and confusing experience. Whether you are just starting out, are trying to climb the ladder, or are transitioning career tracks, this workshop will try to give you tools to make these processes a little easier. Some of the topics we will cover include post-graduate career planning, tailoring your education, internships, and entry-level or part-time positions to further your goals, networking and finding mentors, and affordable methods of professional development.
This workshop is co-sponsored by the Simmons College Student Chapter of the Society of American Archivists (SCoSAA).
