Career Mini-Games: Test-Drive Career Paths Before You Commit

How many years does it take to discover whether you're better suited to founding a startup, joining a fast-growing company, becoming a consultant, building a social enterprise, or forging your own unconventional path?

What if you could explore them all in just two hours?

Join us for an interactive, game-based experience where you'll rotate through a series of career pathway stations, each designed to simulate a different world of work. Through mini-games, discussions, and real conversations with others, you'll gain insights into what each path demands and whether it excites you. Think of it as part networking event, part career expo, and part workshop.

Rather than committing months or years to discover what fits, you'll have the chance to experiment in a safe, low-risk environment. Ask the difficult questions, challenge your assumptions, and explore possibilities without real-world consequences.

Whether you're curious about launching a startup, finding a co-founder, becoming a specialist consultant or contractor, joining an ambitious scale-up, or pursuing another direction altogether, you will gain value from knowing the rewards that each path offers.

Who This Is For:

• Students exploring future career options
• Early-career professionals seeking direction
• People considering change or transition
• Aspiring founders and entrepreneur enthusiasts
• Anyone searching for purpose
• Curious minds who enjoy games and hands-on activities

Expect meaningful conversations, plenty of networking, and snacks to keep the ideas flowing.
