About the workshop:
The true first step in any career exploration should be an understanding of individual skills and strengths.
This interactive workshop will allow participants to understand what professional transferable skills are, with specific discussion of transferable skills developed during a PhD.
Using SkillScan card decks and skill recording worksheets, workshop participants will be guided through an extensive process of identifying their own individual skills, ranking level of competency, as well as identifying preferences for using those skills in a science career. Skills needed for various science career paths will also be presented and discussed.
