In this candid kickoff episode of our Young Professionals Segment, we sit down with recent graduates navigating the winding path from lecture halls to industry. From discovering GIS by “coincidence” to learning Power BI on the job, our guests share real stories of what they wished they knew before entering the workforce.
We dive into:
- What the curriculum left out — and how it shows up at work
- The reality of soft skills, teamwork, and self-teaching
- Why mentorship, networking, and open-source tools matter
- What they’d tell their first-year selves (and maybe yours too)
It’s honest. It’s unfiltered. And it’s the start of something special.
Whether you're a student, a recent grad, or someone who's been there — this episode’s for you.
