The first step into a STEM or tech career has become one of the most important questions for young people today. For years, the message seemed simple: learn to code, enter IT, apply for a junior role and build your career from there. But the labour market has changed. The tech sector is no longer one narrow path. It is a much wider map of opportunities stretching across AI, data, cybersecurity, energy, finance, health technologies, industrial automation, telecom, space, aerospace, retail tech and critical infrastructure.
At Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit 2026, the Career Starter Path helps young people answer exactly that. Across two days, participants can get one-on-one career support, meet recruiters and employers, explore nearly 100 companies and universities at the Career Expo, learn how recruitment works in the AI era, understand the future of junior jobs, practise technical interviews, discover cybersecurity career paths, and see where STEM careers are really growing now.
This path is especially important for people aged 18–25 who are still studying, preparing for their first internship, looking for a junior role, planning a career change or simply trying to understand where they fit in the new STEM labour market.
The Career Starter Path connects three key layers of the Summit:
Career SPA - practical one-on-one support with CVs, interviews, skills, networking and career planning.
Career Expo - direct access to employers, recruiters, experts, universities and real career opportunities.
Career Stage x Dreams into Jobs - conversations about junior roles, recruitment, AI, cybersecurity, international careers, inclusive workplaces, entrepreneurship and the future of work.
Together, they create a practical route through the Summit for anyone who wants to stop guessing and start making informed career decisions.
Below is the detailed route through the first job, internship and career-planning agenda.
DAY 1: 10 June 2026
09:00–18:00 Career SPA
Location: Career SPA
Format: Special career consultations / one-on-one sessions
Best for: students, early-career participants, first-job seekers, people preparing for interviews, people who need CV feedback
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/career-spa
This is the best place to start the Career Starter Path.
Career SPA is a full-day career support space designed for young people who are preparing to enter the labour market. If you have sent dozens of applications and heard nothing back, if your first job interview is coming up, if your CV does not yet feel strong enough, or if you simply do not know how to plan your next step — this is where you should begin.
Participants can join free one-on-one sessions with specialists in recruitment, HR, IT, leadership, networking, career development and career change from companies including Citi, Intel, AMD, JPMorgan and other top employers.
Bring your CV. Bring your questions. Bring your doubts. This is the place to test your application, practise your story and understand how recruiters see your profile.
Use Career SPA to ask:
How should I present myself if I have little or no commercial experience yet?
How do I describe university projects, hackathons, student organisations or volunteering?
What makes a junior CV credible?
How do I prepare for my first interview?
How can I use AI in job search without sounding generic?
Which skills should I build next if I want an internship or junior role?

09:00–09:10 New Program: Dreams into Jobs — discover universe of opportunities!
Location: Career Stage
Format: Programme opening
Speaker: Joanna Koper — Perspektywy Education Foundation
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/new-program-dreams-into-jobs-discover-universe-of-opportunities
This short opening introduces Dreams into Jobs — a nationwide programme created to support young people entering the labour market.
The programme is aimed at young people aged 15–24, especially those from smaller towns and post-industrial regions. Its goal is to help them build the competences they need to enter the world of work: technological skills, soft skills, financial literacy, entrepreneurial thinking and confidence in navigating the job market.
This is the symbolic beginning of the Career Starter Path. It places the whole Summit career programme in a broader context: access to STEM careers is not only about motivation. It is about skills, guidance, mentoring, visibility and real entry points into companies and sectors that are growing now.
09:15–09:25 If Everyone Has AI, What Becomes Your Advantage? Why the Most Important Tech Skill May No Longer Be Only Technical
Location: Sci/Eng Stage
Format: Science & Engineering Talk
Speaker: Karol Jędrasiak, PhD Eng. — WSB University
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/if-everyone-has-ai-what-becomes-your-advantage-why-the-most-important-tech-skill-may-no-longer-be-only-technical
This is one of the most important strategic sessions for young people entering STEM now.
If AI can write, code, analyse data and support decisions, what becomes your real advantage? The answer is not simply “use more AI tools.” The real advantage is the ability to ask better questions, understand context, evaluate AI outputs critically and connect technology with real-world problems.
For students and early-career participants, this session reframes the idea of a “tech skill.” Technical knowledge still matters, but it is no longer enough on its own. The most future-proof candidates will be those who can combine AI literacy with judgement, communication, responsibility and domain understanding.
09:25–09:55 Junior Jobs in Tech — What Does the Future Hold?
Location: Career Stage
Format: Discussion Panel
Speakers:
Agnieszka Chojnowska — Head of HR Global Development and Process Excellence, Lingaro Group
Tomasz Kolinko — Independent Researcher
Przemysław Jan Ordyszewski — Senior Director of Global AIOps Services & Principal Cloud Native Architect, Procter & Gamble
Moderator: Aleksandra Wróbel — Public Affairs Manager, ZPP
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/junior-jobs-in-tech-what-does-the-future-hold
This is one of the key events of the entire Career Starter Path.
Are junior roles in IT disappearing — or being redefined? Does it still make sense to learn programming? How are AI and automation changing entry-level work? Which study paths and skills still matter? What are employers really looking for in early-career talent?
This panel goes straight into the anxiety many young people feel today. The first step into tech has become more demanding, more selective and more specialised. But that does not mean that the door is closed. It means that young candidates need to understand the new rules earlier.
This is the session for everyone who wants an honest market reality check before applying for internships, junior roles or graduate programmes.
10:00–10:20 Meet us: Bayer
Location: Career Stage
Format: Employer session
Speaker: Bogusław Tobiasz — VP, Head of Digital Hub, Bayer
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/meet-us-bayer
This session shows how STEM careers grow inside life sciences, pharma and digital health.
For young people, Bayer is a reminder that a tech career does not have to begin in a classic software company. Technical skills are needed in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, data systems, digital transformation, research, product safety and regulated environments.
This is a strong session for students interested in combining technology with medicine, biology, chemistry, data, product development or global digital operations.
11:20–11:50 Recruitment in the AI Era — How to Successfully Apply for the Job?
Location: Career Stage
Format: Career Stage session
Speaker: Karola Sulińska — Recruiter, Citi
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/recruitment-in-the-ai-era-how-to-succesfully-apply-for-the-job
This is a must-attend session for anyone applying for internships, junior roles or first corporate jobs.
Recruitment has changed. AI, algorithms, large job platforms and automated screening tools now influence how candidates are found, filtered and evaluated. This session explains what hiring looks like today, whether CVs are still read by humans, how to write an application that works for both algorithms and recruiters, how candidates can use AI in job search, and whether applying through large job platforms still makes sense.
For young candidates, this session is practical and urgent. Many people are not rejected because they have no potential. They are rejected because their potential is not visible in the application.
This session helps participants understand how to make their skills readable, credible and relevant.
11:55–12:15 Meet us: Standard Chartered
Location: Career Stage
Format: Employer session
Speaker: Anna Jarczewska — Head of HR, Standard Chartered Poland
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/meet-us-standard-chartered

For someone entering the labour market, company culture matters as much as the job title.
This panel shows what inclusion looks like when it moves from declarations to practice. It is important for young people because their first workplace can shape their confidence, learning habits and sense of belonging for years.
A good first job is not only a company logo. It is a place where you can ask questions, receive feedback, learn safely, be treated seriously and grow.
This session helps participants think not only about how to get hired, but also about how to choose environments where they can develop.
14:00–14:20 Meet us: Hitachi Vantara

This is a strong direction for people who want to work with systems that are not always visible to end users, but are essential for modern business.
14:20–14:40 Meet us: JetBrains
Location: Career Stage
Format: Employer session
Speaker: Karyna de Borst — Senior Researcher and Writer, JetBrains
Agenda link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda
JetBrains is a strong stop for people interested in developer tools, software engineering culture and the technologies used by programmers around the world.

Location: Main Stage
Format: Future of Work discussion panel
Speakers:
Agnieszka Chmiel — Capgemini
Candy Chatawanich — Honeywell
Dariusz Dajszczyk — Hitachi Vantara
Jolanta Jaworska — Digital Association Lewiatan
Piotr Zegadło — Point72
Moderator: Magdalena Chudzikiewicz — home.pl
Agenda link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda
This is the big-picture market session of the Career Starter Path.
It is important because young people entering tech are not imagining the difficulty of the market. Something really has changed. Entry-level roles are more competitive, companies are more selective, AI is transforming simple tasks and the promise that anyone can quickly enter tech after a short course has become much less reliable.
This panel helps participants understand the labour market in a broader context: what changed, what still works, what companies need now and how young people can respond intelligently instead of applying blindly.
16:10–17:20 Tech Interview Workshop
Location: Room D
Format: Workshop
Speaker: Ela Czajka — Engineering Manager, Google
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/tech-interview-workshop
This is the most practical technical-interview event on the Career Starter Path.
Led by a Google Engineering Manager, the workshop explains what interviewers look for beyond clean code. It covers data structures, algorithms, system architecture, ambiguous problem statements, thinking out loud and discussing trade-offs under pressure.
For students preparing for their first internship, this is a must-attend session. It gives a concrete framework for understanding what happens in technical interviews and how to show not only that you can code, but that you can think clearly.
Prepare before attending:
one technical project you can explain;
one example of debugging or problem-solving;
one question about technical interviews;
one honest weakness you want to improve.
16:20–16:50 She Builds — Entrepreneurship and the Startup Journey
Location: Career Stage
Format: Discussion Panel
Speakers:

Wiktoria Wójcik — Co-Founder, InStreamly
Moderator: Joanna Socha — Journalist & Media Creator, W Insight
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/she-builds-entrepreneurship-and-the-startup-journey
This session is for people who do not see their future only as a standard employment path.
It shows the startup journey from the perspective of women building companies, products and ventures. For young people, this is important because entrepreneurship is also a way of entering technology: through student projects, hackathons, prototypes, research ideas, social innovation and early-stage products.
Even if you do not want to become a founder now, startup thinking teaches ownership, resilience, product sense and initiative — all of which are valuable in any first job.
17:25–17:40 Special Guest — Siri Chilazi: AI Isn’t Changing Everything. What Actually Drives Performance in the Workplace of the Future
Location: Main Stage
Format: Keynote
Speaker: Siri Chilazi — Senior Researcher, Harvard Kennedy School

This keynote adds an important workplace perspective to the career path.
AI is changing work, but technology alone does not create good organisations. Performance also depends on management, fairness, decision-making, psychological safety and the ability to use diverse perspectives well.
For early-career participants, this keynote helps answer a different question: once I get into a company, what kind of workplace should I look for? The best career move is not only getting hired. It is joining an environment where you can actually grow.
17:45–18:00 Breaking the Blueprint: How AI is Changing the Tech Landscape
Location: Main Stage

This session closes the day with a broader look at how AI is reshaping the technology landscape.
For young people, it is a reminder that they are entering a market in transition. The roles, tools, teams and expectations of the next decade will not be identical to those of the previous one. The key is not to chase every trend, but to understand how AI changes work, collaboration, skills and career planning.
DAY 2: 11 June 2026
09:00–09:10 Dreams into Jobs — discover universe of opportunities!
Location: Career Stage
Format: Programme opening / continuation

Location: Career Stage
Format: Career development session
Speaker: Sayali Samadova — Senior Business Analyst in the Productivity Team, Citi
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/sustainability-in-self-developement
This session is important because early-career people often try to learn everything at once: AI, Python, cloud, cybersecurity, data, English, public speaking, portfolios, networking and interview skills.
That strategy usually ends in panic and exhaustion.
Sustainable self-development means choosing priorities, learning in cycles, building skills that support one another and creating a career plan that can actually be maintained.
For students and juniors, this may be one of the most useful non-technical sessions of the path.
15:25–15:45 Silicon Valley — View From the Inside
Location: Career Stage
Format: Career talk
Speaker: Monika Burzyńska-Evje — Talent Consultant, Polish Professional Women of Silicon Valley
Event link:
https://womenintechsummit.pl/agenda/event/silicon-valley-view-from-the-inside
This session gives a global perspective on tech careers, talent, ambition and professional growth.
For young people, the value is mindset. A first job may be local, but skills, habits and ambitions can be global. Understanding Silicon Valley from the inside helps participants see how international technology ecosystems think about initiative, communication, ownership, networking and growth.
How to follow the Career Starter Path
If you are 18–25 and preparing for your first internship or job, start with Career SPA. Bring your CV and treat the session as a career check-up.
Then go to Junior Jobs in Tech to understand what is happening to entry-level roles.
Attend Recruitment in the AI Era to learn how to apply now, when both algorithms and recruiters shape the hiring process.
