Non-Linear Career Pathing & The Future of Education
Presentation overview:
Much like most kids growing up in the 1990s, Adam played video games. He played a lot of video games. He’d talk about them online, and eventually started a blog. It developed a following. It got noticed by major companies. One of them served him a cease and desist. That was scary; but it was also validation: when he talked about his passion, people listened.
Adam has brought his talk on the future of education to countless boardrooms and classrooms across the Toronto District School Board and Toronto Public Libraries, becoming the most requested small business seminar offered in 2022 (TPL). He inspires professionals and students alike by sharing how his unconventional journey gave way to the earliest forms of social media before the industry existed in Canada, and how his career was born from early adoption in Digital.
With technologies rapidly advancing faster than most companies can plan for, many of the jobs of tomorrow do not exist today. But who’s to say that even though they don’t exist today, we can’t prepare?
