Year two of the AAG's Early Career webinar series kicks off this Thursday, August 26 from 3:00 – 4:15 pm EST with our first of many webinars this fall on careers and professional development: Careers in Geography (Part II): Geographers in Business, Government, and Nonprofit Careers.
Geography graduates have everything it takes for success in today's workforce. Their unique mix of interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and abilities have perhaps never been more relevant. Geospatial skills are in high demand across all sectors, from state, local and federal government, to NGOs, businesses and consulting firms large and small. But selling your skills to employers who might not understand the value of a degree in geography can be extremely challenging and frustrating. Let's face it: there just aren't many job listings out there that say "Wanted: Geographer." So where do you start?
This session brings together practicing geographers from a broad range of employment sectors to showcase the dynamic career options available to geography graduates. After short introductions and structured discussion, the session will be opened to audience Q&A.
Speakers:
Kyle Titlow, U.S. Department of Transportation
Carrie Hamilton, Social Science Research Council
Nicolas Saravia, Riba / New Mobility
Terra Luke, City of Philadelphia
Brent Sams, E&J Gallo Winery
