The Young Professionals Network is a dynamic ERG, and I particularly liked the idea of supporting young professionals in better navigating the company and their careers. I decided to join because it\u2019s an amazing opportunity to give back to colleagues, create new connections, and expand my network \u2013 but it\u2019s also a learning opportunity for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beatriz:<\/strong> Young Professionals Network has the potential to inspire people to become new leaders. What I liked the most about YPN before joining as a Champion was that the initiatives were very impactful and helpful for young professionals. Now, being part of the organization as a Site Lead, YPN helps me leverage my leadership skills and empowers some soft skills that I do not necessarily use in my day-to-day job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Filippo:<\/strong> I have always had a clear idea in my mind of what I wanted from my work: people and innovation must be fundamental components of my daily job. YPN has allowed me to find a community of Autodeskers eager to bring innovation and empathy and be ready to do together what is increasingly difficult alone. We define ourselves as \u201cyoung\u201d because our approach to things is fresh and genuine, which separates participation in the ERG from a mere age number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nancy:<\/strong> I enjoy the opportunity to network across other organizations and groups that I don\u2019t typically interact with at work \u2013 especially during a hybrid work schedule when I only go into the office once every 1 to 2 weeks on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-have-you-taken-advantage-of-the-learning-amp-career-development-offerings-available-at-autodesk\"><strong>How have you taken advantage of the Learning &amp; Career Development offerings available at Autodesk?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beatriz:<\/strong> I have used many of Autodesk\u2019s professional development resources. One-on-one peer mentorship and our personal <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/benefits\/coaching\/\">coaching<\/a> platform are my favorites; I use them often. In addition to these offerings, I encourage all YPN members to also have conversations about career development with their managers and update their Individual development plans (IDPs) on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Filippo:<\/strong> Being able to rely on the guidance of a mentor who has faced similar challenges can generate huge value for both participants. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/culture\/mentorship-program\/\">mentorship program<\/a> provides a highly structured offering to help young professionals first understand the Autodesk world and the infinite opportunities it offers, and then themselves. Participating in the mentorship program as a mentee has allowed me to expand my horizons much faster, and I advise all young professionals to consider it for boosting their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nancy:<\/strong> I attend virtual sessions hosted by the Learning &amp; Development team to understand the different ways to progress either vertically or horizontally within Autodesk. The company is very open and flexible about these kinds of opportunities, and managers are supportive of them as well. I recommend starting with these calls and networking with people on different teams to learn what interests you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thomas:<\/strong> Since joining Autodesk, I\u2019ve leveraged many different learning and career development opportunities through instructor-led classes and the mentorship program. Being a mentee and a mentor is another great opportunity to grow and connect with new colleagues. I would encourage young professionals to identify and list their goals and partner with YPN members to discuss how they can leverage the different options offered by Autodesk to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/YPN-at-AU-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/YPN-at-AU-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/YPN-at-AU-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/YPN-at-AU-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/YPN-at-AU.jpg 1290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Young Professionals Network meetup at Autodesk University<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-should-young-professionals-want-to-come-work-at-autodesk\"><strong>Why should young professionals want to come work at Autodesk?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nancy:<\/strong> Autodesk&#8217;s flexibility of work location and people culture are amazing. The company\u2019s transparent leadership culture and inspiring management allow me to collaborate better and grow myself. My advice for anyone interested in joining Autodesk is to first understand the integrity and team culture you work best with and desire because that is where you will spend a lot of your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thomas:<\/strong> Autodesk is an amazing company, offering a great environment for any professional to grow and thrive. This is even more true for young professionals as the company supports career development, learning, and growth. Autodesk truly focuses on and cares about employees. If you join us at Autodesk, I advise becoming a member of the Young Professionals Network, as it will speed up creating connections with peers and leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beatriz:<\/strong> Autodesk offers many learning resources. From LinkedIn Learning to Harvard courses, the company&#8217;s professional development opportunities are endless. Working with extraordinary people also helps you make the most of your skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Filippo:<\/strong> At Autodesk, the only constants are change (a positive change aimed at improving how we work today) and innovation (focusing our efforts on creating a better future). This approach allows young professionals to always be in the right room \u2013 or certainly to find one that is a fertile environment for professional development first and personal development thereafter. If you are young, curious, hungry, and constantly seeking to innovate and push the boundaries of technology, Autodesk provides the right room for you to make anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
