Landing the Job: Nutrition Career Journeys
Trainee Career Panel and Networking Social
No career path is the same—especially in nutrition. Have you ever wondered how professionals land their dream jobs, pivot between roles, or carve out unique career paths? This panel brings together trailblazing nutrition experts who will share the real stories behind their careers—the pivotal moments, the unexpected twists, and the lessons they learned along the way. Get insider tips on breaking into different sectors, why they chose the organization they work for, standing out in the job market, and making the most of your skills and interests.
Following the discussion, join us for networking roundtables where you can engage directly with panelists and peers, ask questions, and build connections that can support your career development. Whether you are exploring your options or actively preparing for the next step, this is your chance to gain inspiration, make connections, and take the next step in your nutrition journey.
