Beyond the Job Search: How to Design Your Career Path as a Remote or Hybrid Employee

Most professionals focus so much on landing a remote or hybrid job that they forget to plan for what happens next. In a virtual or hybrid work environment, career paths aren’t always linear or visible, especially when you aren’t in the same room as your colleagues or manager all week. This session empowers remote and hybrid employees to take ownership of their professional development without waiting for permission or a promotion to ‘just happen.’

Key Takeaways:

• How to stay top-of-mind for promotions and stretch projects, whether you are 100% remote or in a hybrid arrangement.
• Strategies for building “digital-first” mentorships and navigating the transition between virtual coffee chats and occasional in-person meetings.
• Practical ways to advocate for your professional development and “internal mobility” when you aren’t physically “seen” by leadership every day.
• How to identify which skills are most valuable in a flexible economy and how to ask for company-sponsored training to bridge the gap.
