In this extended 90-minute webinar, Heather Krasna, PhD, MS, EdM, Associate Dean of Career and Professional Development at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, will discuss how to pivot your career and apply your public health skills across different sectors. This webinar will include a mini panel of three career changers who switched careers from public health to other areas.

Many people working in public health have had their careers disrupted in the last year and a need to identify a new career path. Yet, thousands of people make career changes every year. This webinar will provide practical guidance for public health professionals considering a career change, including how to identify transferable skills, research new career options, explore fast-growing industries and roles, build a professional network in a new field, tailor resume language for different sectors, address employment gaps through training, volunteering, consulting, or self-directed projects, evaluate the value of professional certificates, and overcome common employer concerns during a career transition.

After this webinar participants will be able to:
1. Outline six actionable steps to position yourself for a career change. 
2. Recognize how core public health skills translate and transfer across new industries and sectors.
3. Apply targeted strategies for refreshing resume language and framing experience when making a career pivot.
