Career Chats with Corporate Leaders

Strengthen your preparedness and peace of mind by joining the Cascade Team for Career Chats, an event that aims to connect those at the trailhead of their career with valuable insights from corporate leaders.

The first hour will feature the moderated panel with representatives who will answer questions, share career insights, and provide feedback on Gen Z’s strengths and areas for growth. This will be followed by 30 minutes of networking, giving students the chance to connect with professionals, explore career paths, and gain practical advice for their own journeys. 

Corporate leaders will answer pressing questions for Gen Z as they prepare to enter a challenging job market, such as:

• What qualities or skills are companies looking for in Gen Z applicants right now?
• What do you see as Gen Z’s biggest strengths in the workplace, and where is there room for growth?
• How can Gen Z candidates demonstrate leadership potential before holding formal leadership roles? 
• What’s the best way to make a strong impression when networking with industry professionals?

Preparing the next generation for the workforce is essential to sustaining strong, thriving businesses. Today’s corporate leaders have a responsibility to give back—sharing their experience and insight to help students build the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
