About this Event
The Coastal Society (TCS)'s Coastal Career Workshop (held in conjunction with the SEERS Spring 2025 Meeting) is the place to be for aspiring coastal professionals! Join us at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute for an in-person event filled with networking, informative talks, and career advice from experts in the field. Whether you're a student looking to kickstart your career or an early professional seeking expanded opportunities, this workshop is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals and learn from professionals in your field. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to take your coastal career to the next level!
This workshop will not touch on basic skills offered by other entities such as general resume editing and interview preparation. Rather, attendees will benefit from a) learning about career paths not always broadcast by institutions of higher learning or colleagues, b) hearing speakers from a wide range of environmental fields share their personal career journeys, and c) engaging speakers in small groups to discuss specific skills. Past workshops have featured talks on navigating USAJobs.gov, marketing yourself, effective networking that truly sets you up to land your desired job, and much more.
All of our speakers are not only dedicated to their professional practice, but are eager to give back to the next class of coastal and environmental professionals. There will be ample opportunities to network with speakers and your fellow attendees and to learn more about what TCS can do for you throughout your career.
Light refreshments will be provided for all registered attendees. Tickets are available for $15.00, but those who have registered to attend the SEERS spring meeting will receive a special promo code from SEERS for $5.00 off admission to the workshop.

Jeff is also a Coastal Planner with the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program, but as a past attendee of TCS career workshops before landing his current position, he greatly benefited from them and is eager to help others succeed in their career journeys!
