About Event

AI coding tools have gone from novelty to daily use in a very short time. Entry-level hiring has tightened, and the day-to-day work of a developer has changed. Practising engineers and tech leaders discuss how the job has shifted, where careers now begin, what employers screen for, and the paths a computing degree opens beyond software engineering.

A 45-minute moderated panel followed by around 30 minutes of audience questions.

Please register with your university email where applicable.
