Diversifying career options is a critical task for computer
professionals, a task that is usually forgotten at happy times, and the
task that people painfully regret about not having accomplished ahead of
time, when the economy sours.
What industries are your options? how to start building up
each option inside your career portfolio? and What are the critical
areas you need to improve outside of technicality? That is the purpose
of NJCCPS Career Series Seminar, through which we want to assist members
in diversifying their career options, so that one can better manage the
risk of losing a position in bad economy and easily hop into the high
growth industry when the opportunity emerges.
We invited four leaders in various fields, all rooted in IT,
and this excellent cohort of speakers will bring you their vision, their
experience, and their advices.
