Objective
The future of the world of work is changing more than ever, and these challenging times often make career and future planning less predictable. Opportunities for researchers are broad in terms of sector, and trends are demonstrating that more and more researchers are seeking roles outside of academia.
Whether you see your future inside or outside of academia, what do you need to make good decisions about your future and your career? And are you taking responsibility for making those decisions?
This focused and interactive online event will help to develop your thinking about your future and career: What is good for me and how can I achieve it?
We consider:
- Academic & non-academic careers
- How to make the best decision(s) for you?
- Making the best of yourself - what do you have to offer?
- How do you market yourself in a targeted way?
- Building your networks – who is on team you?
The approach of the event will be interactive, discursive, but pragmatic and above all supportive, so that the participants can take ownership of their future.
