Unlocking Career Independence: Insights from the Mid-Career Workforce

On August 7, 2025, Pasona Inc. and Pasona Masters will host an informative webinar titled "What Triggers Mid-Career and Senior Professionals to Take Action? - The Reality of Autonomous Careers" aimed at HR and personnel development professionals. As corporations increasingly implement career design training for mid-career and senior employees, some are finding that these initiatives do not lead to concrete career choices or behavioral changes, resulting in a situation where the training ends up being just a learning experience with no subsequent actions. This webinar addresses this issue directly.

The session will invite three distinguished guests who have successfully sparked their career independence through various initiatives, including career design training. They will share personal anecdotes, as well as effective support strategies that catalyzed their career shifts, illuminating how others in similar positions can do the same.
