New Grad Seminar Series
New Grad Seminar Series
Are you a new graduate, or returning to the industry, and unsure where to start?
Do you feel overwhelmed, confused or nervous about what your next step is?
Maybe you’re sure about certain things, like what role you want to end up in, but have lots of questions and queries on how to get started.
After five years in the industry, Emily has worked in several roles from Tech Support and product development to contracting to multi-modality clinics and public education. After two years in practise, Emily took the leap and started her own business. The learnings in the lead up to that decision and the growth thereafter have been invaluable to those that Emily has taught and mentored already - bringing her to the creation of a series to share all that she learnt on her hard path to freedom and passion in business… so that you can have the benefit of those lessons, without the pain.
