Navigating a Career: When to make a change and how to do it

You’re young (or not so young). You’re in your early (or mid) engineering career. Perhaps ambitious and a little more than curious. “The Great Resignation” is underway due to the economic effects of the global pandemic, and as industry grapples so publicly with talent shortages, you might be wondering: “Is now the time for me to move to the next opportunity, role, company or industry? And how do I do it the right way?”

ALUMNI SPEAKER SERIES “How engineers can advance Canada’s health care through technology”

Innovations in technology have advanced every aspect of our human lives — often with engineers at the helm. One such example is the intersection of health care and technology, as showcased by the University of Waterloo’s Global Futures framework which highlights the importance of health tech in our future world.

There are many urgent and exciting opportunities for engineers to step in and help redesign health care systems, innovate solutions and develop new ways of solving problems for the good of society.

Join this live event in Toronto with a panel of engineers, researchers and health tech entrepreneurs who will discuss how — in our rapidly changing world, challenged by rising costs and lack of access — engineering can help advance health care through technology.

The conversation will focus on how engineers can work towards solutions for optimal health care, showcase innovative research, discuss strategies for retaining health tech startups in Canada, identify challenges, explore opportunities and propose actionable solutions to foster an innovative and thriving health tech ecosystem in the country.
