Beyond Boundaries:
What’s Next? has been chosen as the theme for this Career Week because we are living in a time of rapid change. Developments in artificial intelligence, digitalization, and other societal and technological innovations are having a major impact on the labor market and on how we view our future. Jobs are evolving, new sectors are emerging, and the skills that are important today may look very different in just a few years. That is precisely why it is important to pause and reflect on the question: What’s next? At the same time, this theme is about pushing boundaries. Beyond Boundaries refers not only to the borders between sectors, disciplines, and traditional career paths, but also to personal limits. Students and young professionals are increasingly challenged to think broadly, remain flexible, and stay open to unexpected opportunities. In addition, this is a deliberately broad theme. Because Career Week consists of both a symposium and various career events, it offers ample room for diverse perspectives. Speakers can interpret the theme in their own way and connect it to their expertise, while participants are encouraged to reflect on their own future. In this way, Beyond Boundaries: What’s Next? provides a fitting and timely foundation for a week dedicated to growth, exploration, and looking ahead.
