Getting Started in Development: Practical Steps to Build a Career That Creates Impact

Many people want to build a career or a venture in development, but they get stuck in the same place: not knowing how to break in or where to begin. This session is here to change that.

Join us for the START Community Monthly Headline Event, a conversation with Seun Olagunju-Lana, a senior programmes expert and international development practitioner whose work has reached thousands of people across more than thirty countries. Seun began her career in tech as a product manager before transitioning into development, and she will share exactly how she did it, along with the practical steps you can start taking right now to position yourself for a career, a venture, or any path in the development space.

You will leave with clear, actionable steps you can apply this week, not just inspiration.

Date: Monday, June 29, 2026
Time: 7:00 PM (WAT)
Format: Live and virtual, open to everyone
