The Graduate School's Timely Topics Series
When the Plan Isn’t Solely to Pursue an Academic Job: Nurturing Career Conversations with Your Advisees
Graduate students often first seek career advice from those whom know them best, but they can also be hesitant to do so. In this session, we will discuss how advisors can support doctoral candidates who may not be pursuing jobs in academia and those who want to “keep their options open.” Join us to discuss individual conversation starters and departmental approaches that facilitate career inclusivity and to learn about resources available to guide and support a graduate student’s career exploration.
