Careers are shaped locally, yet our profession is undeniably global. Framed by megatrends shaping work toward 2040 (AI and automation, climate realities, demographic and geopolitical shifts, hybrid work, and mental health), this session explores how career professionals across the Asia Pacific and beyond elevate the value of career development. Drawing on case studies and inviting participant examples, we’ll surface practical ways to pair stories with evidence, build cross-sector partnerships, and position our work within education, workforce, and community priorities. You’ll leave with adaptable ideas to champion career development in your setting and connect to a worldwide movement.
