coastal careers workshop

Join us for an in-person Coastal Careers Workshop by The Coastal Society (TCS) in conjunction with the Virginia Sea Grant Coastal Leadership Conference in Virginia Beach to advance your professional development.

TCS’s Coastal Careers Workshop is the place to be for aspiring coastal science and policy professionals! Join us at the Wyndham Virginia Beach Oceanfront for an in-person, pre-conference event filled with networking, informative talks, and career advice from experts in the coastal field. Whether you’re fresh out of grad school, finishing up your doctoral dissertation, or have several years of professional experience, this workshop is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals and learn from professionals in your field. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to take your coastal career to the next level!

This workshop will not touch on basic skills offered by other entities such as general resume editing and interview preparation. Rather, attendees will benefit from:

• Learning about career paths not always broadcast by institutions of higher learning or colleagues.
• Hearing speakers from a wide range of environmental fields share their personal career journeys.
• Engaging speakers in small groups to discuss specific skills. The workshop will feature a blend of speakers from both the public and private sectors to ensure you’re aware of the many opportunities to do great environmental work.

All of our speakers are not only dedicated to their professional practice but are eager to give back to the next class of coastal and environmental professionals. There will be ample opportunities to network with speakers and your fellow attendees and to learn more about what TCS can do for you throughout your career.
