Emerging Professionals Networking Event
Event description
At MDC, we believe that development practice is complex, dynamic and cannot be done alone. We foster a culture of collaboration and knowledge-sharing between people and organisations from different sectors through creating inclusive, high-quality networking events. We recognise the importance of professional circles and peer networks to promote career prospects, especially in the rapidly changing development landscape, which has been further disrupted due to COVID-19.
This event aims to provide early career professionals in the development sector the chance to connect and gain career advice through small break out groups, facilitated by experienced development professionals (Advisors) who have navigated career transitions and forged their own career pathways - spanning academia, government, and private/not for profit development organisations, internationally and across Australia. Additionally, this event is an opportunity to connect and build peer professional networks.
