Ava’s Session: Navigating a Tech Transition

Ava Turner, alongside Cynthia Coleman from Huron, will be co-presenting a session titled Navigating a Tech Transition: Unveiling Realities and Crafting Success. This session addresses the challenges faced by early-career professionals transitioning into tech roles and provides actionable steps for success. Join Ava and Cynthia on June 21st at 12pm as they explore the realities of tech transition and offer strategies to persevere and thrive in the tech ecosystem.

Here’s a sneak peek into Ava’s session with her top 3 tips for navigating tech transitions: 

• Find ways to make an impact by leaning into your superpowers while developing other relevant skills and gaining experience.
• Be a good colleague – communicating roadblocks, being respectful of team members time don’t require technical expertise but can go a long way to create a positive work environment.
• Push pass discomfort and ask questions even when you think it’s about something you should already know.
