1-2 p.m., Virtual
This workshop is designed to help graduate students better understand the various career pathways that are available to them after they finish their advanced degree, including how to find where nonacademic jobs are posted. Related to this, a common question many graduate students ask is, “How do I prove to my prospective employer that I am qualified, even though I lack direct industry experience outside of the academy?” The key is learning how to translate the skills, knowledge, and abilities gained in graduate school to a broad audience.
