This series aims to help UC Davis PhD students and Postdoc scholars across departments learn how to prepare for career path exploration in the non-academic (alternative-academic or alt-ac) job market. Preparing for alternative career options will help PhD students and Postdocs ensure job security and strengthen their professional skill-set for a wide range of applications. During Winter 2025, the series will include 5 on-campus workshops. Workshop topics will include life design, individual development, career exploration, resume and cover letter writing, interviewing and negotiation skills, and learning from alumni in alt-ac careers.
