Exploring Alternative Career Paths and Entrepreneurship - CML x Venture UWA
Event description
Curious about where your degree could take you—beyond the conventional 9–5?
This event invites you to think differently about your career journey. Whether you're interested in startups, freelancing, creative work, social impact, or launching your own business, this is your chance to explore the less traditional paths that are shaping the future of work.
Through a thought-provoking panel discussion and Q&A, you’ll hear from professionals who have forged fulfilling careers outside of corporate norms. Learn:
How they went from A to B—and how they defined what B even was
How they knew they were ready to take a leap (or how they figured it out along the way)
What career trends they’re seeing in emerging industries and entrepreneurial spaces
What it really takes to build something of your own—or follow a less linear path
After the panel, we’ll move into guided networking where you can connect with our speakers, Career Mentor Link mentors, and fellow students.
