Career Opportunities in this Rapidly Evolving Innovation Landscape

Advancing technology is a boon for many things but certainly is the biggest bane to leveling up your career trajectory.

The reality of job-finding is sobering enough, you can apply for hundreds of jobs, ace interviews and yet still face rejection.

But now – even the skills you acquired yesterday have a very short lifespan. Just 10 years ago, social media influencing drone delivery, AI Chatbot engineers did not yet exist but has quickly become the career of the hour today. More recently, with the advent of AI, non-coders can also pick up coding on their own, threatening to make computer science degrees obsolete in time to come.

Hear from Lewis Liu, Director of Crowdsense, Lee Gang, Founder & CEO of ELGO Technologies, and James Miles, COO of TalentHero to find out the trends and changes they have been seeing in the startup talent market and how you can seize new opportunities to pave your future career!

Navigating the Early Career Maze: Startups vs Large Corporations

Entrepreneurship in Singapore today is nothing like it was just slightly over 20 years ago.

Starting your own business is seen as an overly risky undertaking that is hardly considered and a huge taboo. Most would prefer working for a multinational company, the public sector for the proverbial iron rice bowl.

While much has changed and founding a company is viewed way more favourably these days, the foundational, fundamental questions haven’t changed.
For those early in their careers, they still must grapple with their own decision-making – as after all, working for a startup might make sense for one but not another. For an individual, the choice is more nuanced than that, context matters, and we all have different priorities in life.

Join us for a special session with Anthony So, co-founder and CEO of OnMyGrad and Frank Koo, the former Head of Asia -Talent and Learning Solutions at LinkedIn to gain insights to help in your consideration to navigate your early career path.

The AI Rush and Impact on Jobs

What the world wide web was during the 1990s is what Artificial Intelligence is today.

We had the privilege of seeing how the birth of the internet spawned many new opportunities from the proliferation of desktops to mobiles and the huge plethora of apps we take for granted today.

And today, Artificial Intelligence is at a similar inflection point. It’s not exactly new technology but it has captured the hearts of the masses; you don’t have to be a computer scientist to marvel these breakthroughs but even a layman can appreciate its use.

So, with the internet comes jobs and careers in e-commerce, ride-hailing, financial technology etc. How about today’s AI?

Hear from Samuel Lam, Managing Partner of Capex Consulting, Adrian Liew, Founder at OPPi, and Ryan Tan, Founder and CEO of Zapkad on their insights and views on how you can take advantage of this new wave.
