Speed Mentoring: How AI Is Changing Entry-Level Careers

What does starting a career look like in the age of AI?

AI is rapidly transforming the way we work, and entry-level careers are changing along with it. From automation and evolving job requirements, to new tools and emerging opportunities, navigating the start of a career today can feel very different than it did even a few years ago.

This speed mentoring event will connect you with leaders who are seeing this change in real-time, and can share honest insights on how AI is influencing hiring, daily work, and career growth. Through a series of small-group conversations, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, hear different perspectives, and gain practical advice on building a career in an evolving workplace.

Topics may include:

• How AI is impacting entry-level roles across industries
• Skills that are becoming more valuable in the age of AI
• Using AI tools effectively and responsibly at work
• Standing out in applications and interviews
• Career paths, adaptability, and future-proofing your skillset
• Balancing technical knowledge with human-centered skills

Whether you’re curious, concerned, or excited about the future of work, this event is designed to create space for thoughtful conversations, connection, and mentorship.

This interactive event offers one hour of small group discussion with professionals and leaders from across the sector, as well as opportunities to connect with peers who are navigating similar career questions. Come ready to ask, share, and discover practical advice that will help you chart your own path with confidence. No matter where you are on your career journey, this is your chance to explore career options, sharpen your understanding of the industry, and build meaningful relationships that will support your growth.

Deadline to register: May 26th at 4pm, or when the spots are filled.
