ÑÇÖÞÌìÌÃ

Many students in research-based programs (Masters and PhD) wonder about what career paths they might pursue if they decide not to continue in academia. It can be daunting to consider what types of careers are out there, and how to connect these jobs to the skills and knowledge gained through a research-based program. This session will provide strategies for identifying possible career paths, and assessing those options, as well as leveraging a research-based program for a variety of career paths.

This session is part of the Career Workshop Series. Participants will benefit from attending multiple workshops in the series, but they can choose to attend only those that best fit their interests and availability.
