The LebNet Montreal community gathered on May 25, for an engaging and timely evening exploring how AI is reshaping today’s job market and what young professionals can do to better prepare for the future of work.

Moderated by Andrew Kobersy, the panel featured Léa El Hage (IBM), Fadi Joseph (EnStream LP), Ralph Kobersy (Accenture), Maher Tabbara (Intact), and Nada Zogheib (Strategic Advisor & Coach), who shared valuable insights on career growth, leadership, adaptability, and navigating rapid technological disruption in the AI era.

A major theme throughout the discussion was the growing concern among young graduates and software engineers around AI-driven automation and the changing nature of technical roles, especially as coding and repetitive tasks become increasingly automated. The panelists emphasized the importance of developing strong communication skills, adaptability, creativity, leadership, and other human-centered capabilities that will remain critical in an evolving job market.

The conversation also highlighted the challenges many graduates are currently facing in securing opportunities, with panelists encouraging attendees to actively network through LinkedIn, industry events, and community platforms while continuously building both technical and soft skills.

The evening sparked strong engagement from attendees, particularly from students and first-time participants, with discussions and networking continuing long after the panel concluded.

As attendees shared:

“Great gathering as usual. Thanks to the organizers and the panelists.”
