Women and Careers: Repositioning for a post-virus world.

FIU’s Lillian Lodge Kopenhaver Center for the Advancement of Women in Communication (LLK Center) is offering guidance in this area in its upcoming conference, Women and Careers: Repositioning for a post-virus world. The conference—led by Stephanie Bertini, an award-winning journalist for NBC 6, and Rosanna Fiske, FIU journalism alumna and senior vice president for corporate communications at Wells Fargo—will look at how professionals should evaluate their skills and perhaps even repurpose them for new or changing careers.

“We decided to do this workshop because there are going to be a lot of young people affected by the scarcity of jobs due the coronavirus pandemic,” says Lillian Lodge Kopenhaver, founder and executive director of the LLK Center. “I think it’s important that we offer some tips and guidance on how professionals can develop their own brand and make themselves marketable to better compete for whatever job they are going after.”

For more tips from Bertini and Fiske, tune in to the virtual workshop, taking place via Zoom on June 2 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. The conference is free for anyone in the community to join.
