This content-packed two-workshop series promises to provide early to mid-career business professionals with powerful and proven insights, strategies, and actions for achieving greater career success in a hybrid and increasingly AI-driven work world. The workshops share how to actionably manage the two most critical determinants of career success for capturing a competitive advantage in today’s rapidly evolving job market: First, how to build a well-positioned, differentiated and impactful professional profile; Secondly, how to access and secure the right job opportunities.

The Wharton Club of Chicago has developed these two workshops in response to alumni requests for assistance in navigating their careers through “game-changing” developments in the work environment. Each of the two distinct workshops (see detail below) runs about two hours, including content delivery, exercises, discussion, and Q&A.
