How have young people fared during the pandemic and what are the lasting legacies of COVID-19 on their future career pathways? In this episode, we’ll hear from a number of experts who’ll discuss how the pandemic has disrupted the career development of young people.
We’ll also explore the opportunities that have arisen from graduating into a new world of work, a world in which remote and hybrid working is an established norm and many of us are reassessing how much we want work to dominate our lives. We’ll also hear from young people too about their lessons from the pandemic and how they’ve adapted to working in the era of Covid-normal.
