PORTFOLIO CAREERS: How to Create Your Own Job Stability in a Free Agent Nation

Presented by: Susan Camberis, Talent Management and HR Leader
 

      As the work world continues to evolve and become an increasingly free agent economy, job seekers are faced with new challenges and opportunities.  Whether you’re looking for greater work/life balance or need to earn some income during a job transition, figuring out how to thrive as a contingent worker or freelancer can be valuable.  In this interactive program, participants will learn more about “portfolio careers” (careers where income is generated from a combination of part-time, freelance, temporary and other ventures) and how to take the first steps to define their own product offerings and marketing plans.
