Career Preparation and Exploration Workshop Series

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.
