Submit your entry now for the Career Pathways Competition
- open to students, professionals, executives and the retired!
July 2019
Clarity on career pathways in our industry can be clear as mud at the
best of times, and for many young people thinking about their future, as
well as many of us who are already working in the industry, it’s not
always apparent what options are available to us. To add to this, our
industry is diverse in the depth and breadth of experiences and
backgrounds that each one of us has - but this is not immediately
apparent and can take quite a lot of digging beneath the surface to
uncover.
To
make inroads to changing this, we are extremely excited to announce the
SEASC2019 Career Pathways Competition! We encourage you to apply,
especially if you are a young-at-heart professional who would like to
inspire students and young professionals to enter, stay in and improve
our industry. You don't need to be attending the congress to submit an
entry.
The Career Pathways Competition is open to people of all ages and in
all countries. No matter if you are a primary school student or high
school student inspired by a parent in the industry, an undergraduate or
postgraduate student, someone who has entered the industry after working
in another industry, someone who has been working in the industry for a
short or a long time, or someone who is retired after a lifetime in the
industry – we want to hear from you!
THEME: “MY STORY: HOW I CAME TO BE HERE”
How did you end up in the spatial/surveying industry? To highlight
the depth and breadth of people in our industry, we would love to hear
about your personal journey to where you are right now. What steps have
you taken to get here? What have been your biggest inspirations and
motivators? What do you love about your job? From timelines of your
studies and career to photos of your childhood and family, maps of your
travels, and experiences in the context of entering the spatial
profession, we’re interested in hearing what your journey is, no matter
where you are.
How hard would it be for you to record a 3-minute video sharing your
story? Or to create a digital poster or story map sharing where you’ve
come from and where you hope to go?
