WEBINAR: Data Protection Roadmap for Career Enhancement

The pandemic might have put a damper on hiring activities but it doesn't mean that skills upgrading stop.  Data protection is a skill that is highly portable but not many know of the training and career roadmap. From our interactions with our data protection community, we've discovered a diverse base of the following who have either taken the opportunity to enhance their data protection roles or to move into a 'double-hatting' role:

Data protection officers (DPO)/information security (Infosec) professionals;

• Governance/risk management/compliance functions (GRC);
• Departmental/functional heads;
• Operational or specialised roles;
• Those who just want to enhance or switch careers.

Many have the misconceived idea that one needs to be a trained legal professional to be in a data protection role.  Join DPEX Network's Kevin Shepherdson, Celine Chew and International Association of Privacy Professional's James Campbell for this short online webinar as we explore how experienced workers and PMETS can remain relevant in the 'new normal'.
