Global Working Lives: Policy Shifts, AI Change, and Careers Across Borders

University of Surrey academic Dr Hyeyoun Park leads a free event discussing what it takes to build a career when the rules of work are being rewritten.

Join us for a dynamic event exploring how international professionals navigate tightening migration policies, adapt to new cultures, and harness AI’s rapid rise. Through real stories, practical insights, and open conversation, we’ll uncover how people thrive and help shape the future of global work.

We'll explore how global professionals:

🌍 Adapt to new work cultures

🌍 Overcome barriers to belonging

🌍 Respond to technological change

You’ll hear practical insights, learn strategies for career transitions, and connect with others facing similar challenges. 

We’ll blend panel discussion with open conversation, then round off with a relaxed café-style networking session, with an opportunity to exchange ideas, ask questions, and spark new connections.
