Careers for Humanists
Careers for Humanists
Join the Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) at UW-Milwaukee for a panel discussion featuring emerging- and mid-career professionals who have put their humanities training to work across industries and disciplines.
You’ll hear from humanities degree-holders currently working in their chosen fields about the triumphs, travails, and unexpected turns that have shaped their careers. Designed with current students in mind, this candid conversation will offer concrete advice for navigating the job market and making major (or minor) life decisions in uncertain times.
Topics up for discussion include:
- How panelists landed their first roles
- What hard and soft skills boosted their prospects
- How to navigate career pivots
- What panelists wish they’d known early on
This event is free and open to the public. Current graduate students, undergraduates, prospective students, and community members interested in building meaningful, resilient careers in humanities-related fields are welcome to attend.
Stick around after the talk for a meet and greet with panelists, a reception with refreshments, and a chance to chat with career advisors from UWM's Student Experience and Talent.
