PhD Career Connect is a career preparedness and training program with the objective of empowering PhD students to confidently pursue non-traditional career paths. The program occurs over a ten-week period and includes workshops centered on building a professional resume and LinkedIn profile, identifying your transferable skills and strengths, mastering job search and networking techniques and solving real-world problems through case study analysis. The workshops are designed and delivered in a strategic manner allowing you to build upon each week's lessons and culminate into a tangible career action plan at the end of the ten weeks.
Upon completion of the ten-week program, you will be invited to a two-day conference in June where you will have ample opportunity to network with employers, hear success stories from PhD Alumni, present your case study analysis to employers, and learn more about various non-traditional career opportunities.
Ultimately, you will come out of this ten-week training having learned about diverse career paths, gained new and meaningful connections with both employers and fellow colleagues, and feeling confident about the strengths and value you bring to the labor market.
