Description

It’s time to talk about returning to work! Are you doing it yet? Or is “working from home” a part of your life now? Join us for a state-of-work conversation between experts as they discuss how the workplace is evolving post-pandemic, both from the perspective of companies as well as the broader economy. We’ll be paying attention to how people are hiring, what to expect if you are just entering the job market, and how companies are handling working from home long term. If you’re ready to learn what the office landscape might look like in the near future, check out this event! A Zoom link will be sent 30 minutes prior to event start time. After the event, a member of the YPN outreach committee will be in touch to welcome you to the group.
