How to Help Your Graduate Students and Postdocs Design Their Career: Providing Customized Career Advice for Multiple Career Pathways
Description:
Every graduate student and postdoc has a different set of needs, goals, and ideas about how they can build a fulfilling career. As their advisors and mentors, we want to provide information, tools, and resources for our advisees and mentees, and, most importantly, encourage them as they plan their professional futures. This is especially critical today, as students with advanced degrees are now pursuing a broad range of careers, including careers outside of academia. We can help them begin to think about what career paths, including “nontraditional” career paths, might be right for them. In this workshop, we will address new perspectives on advising graduate students and postdocs about career development and advancement, particularly in a challenging job market. We will also examine tools that you can use immediately to enhance your own advising and to build a culture of “career entrepreneurship” for your graduate students and postdocs.
