In this interactive workshop, Kelly Huang will guide participants through practical tools and strategies for navigating career growth in a rapidly evolving industry. Drawing from themes of professional identity, leadership development, networking, and emerging technologies, this session will help attendees strengthen the skills and mindset needed to stay competitive and future-ready.
Through guided exercises and group discussion, we’ll explore:
• How to clarify your professional identity, strengths, and career direction

• Networking best practices for building authentic, opportunity-generating relationships
• Leadership and soft skills that support career advancement

Following the workshop, there will be a networking dinner featuring tables from local biotech companies, talent acquisition teams, and industry partners.
