About this event

In light of the challenging market across the NE Scotland, CIMA welcomes students, members and colleagues to discuss with experts from recruitment, industry and peers how to see transition as an opportunity.

The key to navigating career transitions is understanding your goals, identifying transferable skills, and building a strong professional network to support your career as it evolves over time.

This session will give insights into current market trends, what employers are looking for in their future workforce, and how best to position and prepare yourself with both recruiters and potential employers to ensure a successful career, even when the landscape is constantly changing.

In a fast-changing job market, with uncertainty affecting many sectors and industries, we understand that some of our members may be facing difficult decisions or even job instability. That’s why we’re bringing together expert voices, market insight, and valuable networking opportunities to help you feel empowered and equipped to take your next step—whatever that may be.

This event will offer:

  • Expert-led sessions exploring current employment trends and emerging opportunities
  • Insights into what employers are really looking for right now—and how to stand out
  • Chances to meet and network with local and national recruiters who are actively hiring
  • Opportunities to connect and reconnect with fellow CIMA members from across Scotland.

Don’t miss out—spaces are limited!
