Many of us know a colleague or friend who has moved to an EdTech company in the last few years. And you may be curious - what is it like to pivot out of .edu or global education to work for a rapidly expanding sector which supports learning, recruitment and operations?

Join our three panelists for your own EdTech informational interview. Hear their professional journey, what they love about their new roles, miss from their previous ones, and what are the transferable skills. This 60 minute session will include one breakout, and mirroring the EdTech workplace culture, we’ll ask participants to turn their cameras on.
