The ability to pivot and apply your strengths across roles and industries is essential in today’s rapidly evolving job market. This workshop will help you identify the highly valuable, transferable skills you’ve developed through your PhD, explore a wide range of career pathways, and learn how to communicate your research and experience in a way that resonates with recruiters and hiring managers. We’ll also discuss how to proactively seize opportunities during your PhD to build your network and explore career options early.
Through activities and discussion, participants will learn to:
- Identify and articulate key transferable skills developed through the PhD and map these skills to roles across multiple sectors and industries.
- Describe a range of potential career pathways available to PhD graduates and evaluate which options align with your interests, values, and strengths.
- Communicate your research experience effectively to non-academic audiences, including recruiters and hiring managers, using clear, impact-focused language.
