Treasury & Finance Careers: Why Networking & Upskilling Are Essential with AFP President Jim Kaitz

I think the personal connections that people make at events like the AFP event are really important. And as we talked about earlier, treasury can sometimes be a little their own separate part organization. They're typically small. And I think it's being around like minded people and realizing that there's other like minded people doing the same things that you are and having the same challenges that you are. And just I think in one regard Covid has changed the opportunity for people to really get together and it's become so important. So I think the AP event and events around the world probably have lots of opportunities to continue to expand and grow and then it's taking those education and training and turning it into 364 days of learning as well. Because as I think we talked about it earlier, between AI and the skills that are going to be needed for future treasury and Finance professionals, you're not going to be able to be complacent. You're going to have to be committed to lifelong learning and upskilling. And if you don't, you're going to get left behind, you're just going to go back. And that's just generally for all of us, you're going to get left behind and focus on your career. That will be another thing that I want to talk to students about. But I will tell you, when I do talk to the students that really are motivated, they get it. Yeah. And these are the students that I want to appeal to go into those treasury and Finance careers.
