Description:

Organized by the Human Resources and Professional Development Committee

This workshop will explore approaches to attracting and retaining technical staff through two potential career streams: one focused on technical expertise without moving into management, and another centred on management or business development.

Participants will discuss:

  • Advantages and challenges of the dual career path approach
  • Organizational structures that support both technical and managerial roles
  • Factors influencing career path choices
  • Skills and attributes associated with each pathway
  • Strategies to recognize technical expertise alongside management roles

Note: Registered delegates will have the opportunity to indicate their interest in this workshop in late August. Due to limited capacity, delegates may indicate interest in only one workshop.
