The next topic is about Anti-mainstream career opportunities in the tech industry. You could say this includes career opportunities that are unusual or uncommon in the technology industry. This refers to jobs or career paths within the technology industry that many people may rarely consider or are not as popular as more common career paths such as software developer or network engineer.
The intent is to highlight that within the technology industry there are a variety of career opportunities that may not be well known but are still interesting and profitable. Examples could be a cyber security specialist, an ethical data analyst, a user experience (UX) designer specializing in accessibility, or even a technology community manager. This is a type of job that requires technical skills and creativity, but may not be as popular or common as other roles in the industry.
The next topic is Introduction to cybersecurity compliance frameworks which refers to an introduction to cybersecurity compliance frameworks.

This is especially important considering increasing cyber security threats and the need to comply with increasingly stringent regulations in various industries.
Finally, this topic is about Tips on how to start working with the international market, meaning advice or guidance on how to start working with the international market. It covers the strategies and steps an individual or company needs to take to enter and successfully operate in a foreign market.

Thus, this seminar not only provides practical knowledge about cybersecurity and career opportunities in the technology industry, but also fosters an entrepreneurial spirit and openness to cross-disciplinary collaboration which is essential in the current technological era.
