Join us at Heriot-Watt University in Putrajaya, for “Shaping What’s Next: Building Bold Careers in a Changing World” - a high-impact programme focused on career growth and personal development. Open to students, staff, and alumni, this event offers engaging sessions and meaningful conversations designed to help you navigate today’s evolving career landscape with purpose, resilience, and curiosity.

Session 1: From Watt to Work – Alumni Insights on Career Take-off

Primarily aimed at students and early-career graduates, this panel discussion features alumni sharing their journeys and practical advice for launching impactful careers.

Session 2: Watt’s Next – Staying Resilient and Thriving in a Rapidly Changing World

Change is constant, but thriving through it is a choice. This session explores how to cultivate resilience as your superpower, embrace challenges as opportunities, and leverage your community to build strength and confidence at every stage of your career.

Throughout the evening, we’ll highlight themes such as knowing your purpose, staying curious and building strong professional connections. The event concludes with a networking dinner - an opportunity to swap stories, make new connections and reflect on what’s next.

You are welcome to attend one or both sessions – please make your choice when completing the RSVP here. When booking, you’ll have the option to attend just the evening session if the earlier session isn’t relevant to you.
