We recently hosted the much-anticipated Community Skill Builders Workshop during our June online meeting. This event was a culmination of six months of listening to your feedback and crafting solutions to better support your PMI journey. Here’s a look back at what happened and the exciting developments that emerged from our collaborative efforts.
A Gathering of Minds
We were thrilled to see a diverse group of attendees, including local certified PMI trainers and both new and experienced members eager to contribute their perspectives. The workshop was structured into three dynamic discussion sessions, each led by our dedicated membership advocates.
Key Takeaways and Future Directions
The insights and feedback gathered from these discussions were invaluable. Here are some of the key takeaways and the steps we are taking to address them:
• Enhanced Resource Accessibility: We are working on a new, user-friendly resource page that will make it easier for members to access training materials and real-world application guides.
• Structured Mentorship Program: Plans are underway to launch a mentorship program that will connect members with experienced professionals for guidance and support.
• Increased Networking Opportunities: Expect to see more frequent and varied networking events, both virtual and in-person, to help you build connections and foster a sense of community.
Moving Forward
We are committed to turning your feedback into actionable solutions that enhance your PMI journey. This workshop was just the beginning. By actively participating and sharing your experiences, you have helped shape the future of our Chapter’s offerings.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the Community Skill Builders Workshop. Your engagement and enthusiasm are what make our Chapter strong and vibrant.

5 key differences between Hard skill and Soft skillsRuchiRathor2

In today's dynamic and competitive market, a well-rounded skillset is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity.
While technical expertise (hard skills) is crucial for getting your foot in the door, it's the combination of hard and soft skills that propels you towards long-term success and career advancement. ✨
Think of it like this: Imagine a highly skilled carpenter with a masterful understanding of woodworking (hard skills). But if they struggle to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate with builders, or adapt to project changes (soft skills), their true potential remains untapped. 😐
The synergy between hard and soft skills is what creates true value in the workplace. Strong communication allows you to clearly articulate your technical expertise, while problem-solving skills help you navigate complex challenges alongside your team. 💫
By actively developing both sets of skills, you position yourself as a well-rounded professional who can not only perform tasks efficiently but also contribute meaningfully to a collaborative and dynamic work environment.

Editor's Notes
Opening slide – used to provide impact. My name is Charlie and I am a careers adviser at the RSC. Has anyone heard of the RSC? A bit about the RSC first 47,000 members worldwide - 60% of members are based in industry Professional Body and Learned Society Registered Charity UK, US, India, China and Japan RSC Reps
The good news is that having a degree, whether it’s a first degree, i.e. an undergraduate degree or a second degree i.e. a post graduate degree, will open up a number of doors for you. The even better news is that a chemistry degree is very flexible with regards to where it can take you……as the first slide showed – To infinity and beyond…..
When we have asked people why they are studying chemistry, these are some of the answers we have had. The most important is enjoyment. If you enjoy something, you are good at it….it’s human nature
I am here today to talk to you a little bit about jobs that you can do with a chemistry degree – this would include medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical, straight chemistry, chemistry with computers, some degrees have chemistry in the title, some don’t but they all give you invaluable skills to take you into your career. As I have already mentioned, chemistry provides a very flexible and interesting path…..I have some information to give you later on. (Options with chemistry handout – prospects; photocopied employee profiles) But for now: Can anyone think of a job that a chemist might do? – 2/3 mins for them to think then go to next slide
Here are some obvious ones and most of them involve a lab, a white coat and a geeky chemist…… But are all chemists geeky? Does anyone here know any chemists? What are they like? Can you think of some other areas where chemistry might be useful? 2/3/ mins then next slides
Did anyone come up with any of these? Culture Museum/gallery curator , Restorer, Educational work (Natural history museum, science museums), TV – scientific documentaries Science Writing Publishing, Books / journals, Press writing – pharmaceuticals etc , PR , Newspapers – scientific columns , New Scientist / Chemistry World, Professional bodies publications - RSC News Government MP – parliamentary & scientific affairs committee [POST], Pesticides safety directorate , Central Science Lab, Veterinary medicines directorate, Centre for environment, fisheries & agriculture science DTI , Research councils , Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) Law Intellectual property solicitors , Patents – both in companies, UK & Europe Patent Office, Forensics , Expert witnesses ,Parliamentary office for science and technology (POST) – advising for legislation The RSC Press office ,Promotion – local events, RSC News, Chemistry World ,Sales – membership, journals, books ,Network management ,LIC – information specialists, Campaigns Careers service ,Science policy, awards & funding ,Education – higher education policy, supporting students (UG & PG), schools and colleges (curriculum issues/promoting chemistry as a career) Work in the HE sector – PhD can be an advantage, Management, research bid support, technical support Sales / Marketing – technical sales, scientific equipment, specialist/bulk chemicals, pharmaceutical products Finance sector
60% graduates leave their first job within 3 years academic career path closes to up to 90% of those who start on it Whatever your career path: analyse the selection criteria provide evidence that you meet the standards What type of company do you want to work for?
