Description
Careers as we know them are a thing of the past. The job market of the future will be driven by opportunity. Emerging industries and markets, non-linear career paths and a constantly changing landscape will transform workers into entrepreneurs. Today is a land of free agents with a generation of college graduates poised to take on the next set of challenges with innovative solutions. The Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD) at Babson College is at the forefront of today’s Entrepreneurial Revolution. Our conviction is simple: Entrepreneurial thought and action is critical to career success. Now more than ever, an entrepreneurial approach to career development is essential. At Babson, the #1 educator in entrepreneurship of all kinds, entrepreneurship is a state of mind that permeates everything we do. In this session we will share our secrets for infusing entrepreneurial thought and action into the career development process. You will learn about a model that cultivates creativity and innovation to identify and create opportunities. Like the careers of the future, career development is no longer linear; it is a dynamic process that involves embracing change, practicing innovation, recognizing and capitalizing on opportunity, and taking risks.
