To provide students short 'n quick "live" autobiographies from several well-known Industry researchers, to hear their stories on education, research pathways and career choices, and solicit ideas on their own career options and opportunities.
When it comes to determining career pathways, students can be faced with vastly different opportunities. These career choices can include positions in Industry, university, government or even private consulting.
Given that Industry often leads to exciting and rewarding careers, this workshop introduces students to Industry scientists and technical people in a fun and quick-paced way.
Scientists from several horticultural companies will give a brief description of their education, past experience, current roles and responsibilities, and provide humble advice for students looking at career options, with emphasis on how their education has supported their career path. Besides a quick Q&A, students can take time afterwards to mingle and discuss career ideas with the speakers.
