AI-Powered Women - Using IkigAI to Navigate Career Change in Times of Uncertainty

Join the AIPWDC community to learn more Using IkigAI to Navigate Career Change in Times of Uncertainty. The workshop, led by Lusine (Lucy) Stepanyan, explores how individuals can approach career transitions with greater purpose, self-awareness, and resilience. It introduces the framework of the Japanese concept of Ikigai to help participants identify the intersection of what they love, what they are good at, what the world needs, and what they can be paid for, while emphasizing the importance of adapting to a changing job market, developing in-demand skills, and experimenting with new opportunities.

Doors will open at 5:00 for an opportunity to network and connect with fellow women and allies in AI with programming starting at 6pm. It is recommended to bring a phone or laptop for the workshop. Please note that no food or drink is allowed in the library.
