Group Functions Career Week

About the Group Functions Career Week

Confucius rightly said: "Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life."
But Confucius didn't know that as people embark on this journey to find what they actually love to do, their career path keeps unfolding.

Contrary to the popular belief, a college degree is not a prerequisite for building a sound career even though it can train you to take a particular direction in your career development journey.

Let's Talk About Career Development

  • Career development is the process of self-awareness, investigation, and decision-making that forms your professional path.
  • In fact, it is a lifelong process of upgrading your professional skills as you advance along your career path. While on the career journey, an individual may discover their own strengths and weaknesses.
  • The ultimate career goal is to find the best fit that provides sufficient possibilities to grow.
  • The aim of the Group Functions Career Week is to help you carve a proper career development plan, no matter what stage you are in, we will deep dive together providing some useful information, tools, learnings and discussions in workshops, keynotes, panel discussions and more!
