Flexible Futures Programming for Graduate Students offers a wide range of career-related programs, workshops, customized sessions and consultations year-round for graduate students and post docs.
Regular workshop: Research Your Career
- How do I start figuring out what to do next for my career?
- I am curious about my job opportunities given my field of study, skills, values, and interests. Where should I research to learn more?
In this session for master’s and PhD students and postdocs, you will learn how to apply your research skills to explore career options and all aspects of the job search process from networking to creating job application materials and interviewing. You will leave the session with practical tools and strategies to take action on your career goals.
Co-Working & Accountability Space: Maintain Career Momentum
This is a small group session for master’s and PhD students and postdocs to provide structured accountability to move forward with your career goals. Whether you are just beginning to explore career options or are actively applying for jobs, you will have support to maintain momentum or get unstuck. Each session focuses on a different career related theme.
Session structure:
- 30 minutes: Group advising to discuss networking strategies and respond to questions.
- 10 minutes: SMART Goal setting for our time together. All participants expected to post their goals in the chat; these won’t be read or discussed, but the very act of posting them helps with accountability.
- 45 minutes: Focused co-working toward career goals. Career Education staff will be available for brief (10 minute) 1:1 consultations on career questions.
- 5 minutes: Reflection on successes (in the chat) and brief informal discussion and check-out.
Grad Career Educator AMA Sessions
In the Ask Me Anything Sessions (AMA), the Graduate Career Educator from Career Exploration & Education will answer your questions and direct you to additional resources on career related topics (networking, interviewing, job applications etc.).
