AUSIT Student Committee Presents: Career Pathways for Recent Graduates (Webinar)

We’ll explore exciting career development opportunities, with expert insights from Issa He, Head of Localisation at The LOTE Agency. Issa will share invaluable advice on building a successful career in the localisation industry. The session will focus on two key areas: (1) career pathways for young T&I practitioners, aiming to broaden their understanding of the diverse roles available in the field, and (2) practical career advice, including PD, networking strategies, and tips for improving employability.

Issa will also provide insights into emerging trends in the industry and how practitioners can position themselves for future opportunities. This will be followed by a Q&A session where you’ll have the chance to get your questions answered directly.

We look forward to seeing you there!
