About this event
The ACS Tech and Employability Skills Conference is targeted towards, but not limited to, students currently completing their studies. This event will allow participants to keep abreast of their professional development through three industry led sessions that will highlight the ways in which students and graduates can stand out and succeed in the tech world.
Our first speaker, Amanda Stevenson, local Palmerston Street Artist, Digital Designer and Community Development Officer, will share her journey discovering NFT’s, Blockchains, Metaverses and the possibilities of NFT’s and their utility. She will discuss what she had to learn to do the basics, but more so about all the new employment opportunities available in this area.
Our second speaker Mustafa Kadir, Founder of Visgrow Internships, will speak about the power of personal branding and why it matters more than ever! Mustafa will go through what it means to have a unique brand and run an engaging activity, where by the end you will have a much better idea of the secrets to building your own personal brand, and practical steps you can take to achieve this.
Our third speaker, Hitesh Gupta, Principal Consultant at Algorithm Technologies, will discuss important tips on how to get a job as a Business Analyst or Project manager in ICT. He will talk about how his 20+ years of experience in PM, cybersecurity, cloud computing, AI, Data Analytics and Big Data led him to his dream career, and how it can for you too!
