As professional communicators, it is all too easy to allow our own career plans and skills development to take a back seat to the everyday demands of our work for employers or clients. When we do focus on our careers, the challenge can be determining which skills to build and which training tools and activities offer the best ROI.

Join this IABC seminar to get guidance from experts with the qualifications and perspectives to help you as a professional communicator, whether in-house, agency or an independent freelancer, navigate your career and skills development toward your professional goals. In this seminar, you will gain a better understanding of “the big picture”—global trends and shifts that shape the skills that employers and clients want and need—and have an opportunity to assess your own experience mix and skills set against your goals. You will come away with information to help you set and achieve your career resolutions for the New Year!
