Yale’s 69th Career Panel Brings Virtual Networking to You
Yale’s 69th Career Panel Brings Virtual Networking to You
For 14 years, Yale Career Panels have provided candid, unvarnished views of different professions to thousands of Yale alumni and students. On July 22 from 7:00-8:30 PM ET, the series presents its 69th event: “Yale Career Advice and Networking Event – Education.”
This virtual event combines the best of panel discussion and intimate networking. The evening begins with a 30-minute panel featuring Yale’s own career experts: Jorimel Zaldivar, Senior Associate Director for Common Good Careers, and Stanley Willard Jr., Assistant Director of Employer Relations, both from Yale’s Office of Career Strategy. They’ll share insights on education career opportunities from K-12 teaching to nonprofit leadership to educational policy.
The real magic happens in the hour-long virtual “ballroom” that follows. Experienced Yale alumni across various education fields will host individual tables where attendees can drop in for personalized career advice. You’ll receive a list of advisors in advance and can move freely between tables to ask questions, seek guidance, and make personal connections.
Whether you’re considering a career transition into education, starting your professional journey, or looking to advance within the field, this event offers frank discussions about both the upsides and challenges of education careers. Previous attendees consistently praise these sessions for their honest insights and valuable networking opportunities.
Moderated by Peter Young, CEO of Young & Partners and Yale Career Panels Planning Committee member since 2012, this event continues a tradition that has covered 55+ career panels, reaching professionals across industries from consulting to biotech to government service.
The event is free and jointly supported by Yale’s Office of Career Strategy, Yale Alumni Association, and other Yale organizations.
