Webinar Description
What you will learn?
Guest Speaker
University teaches chemical engineers how to solve complex technical problems, but professional success often depends on skills that receive far less attention in the classroom. How well can you communicate technical information? Can you work with data? Understand project economics? Present to stakeholders? Manage competing priorities? Work across departments? Explain an engineering decision to someone without an engineering background?
This webinar explores the broader skill set modern chemical engineers should consider developing alongside their technical foundation. We will look at technical competence, data and digital skills, business understanding, communication, project work, problem-solving, stakeholder management, and career development. The objective is not to become an expert in everything, but to understand which complementary skills can make you considerably more valuable throughout your career.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
Distinguish between technical, digital, commercial, and professional engineering skills.
Identify important skills that are often not taught extensively at university.
Understand why communication and stakeholder management matter in engineering organisations.
Recognise the growing importance of data, programming, and commercial awareness.
Create a personal development plan around skills relevant to their career goals.
