Foundations of Career Planning Program
Hosted by UBC – Subsidized Seats for ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Postdoctoral Fellows
The Foundations of Career Planning Program is designed to provide an introduction to career planning and to some of the supports and resources required to establish a post-PDF career. Preparing for the next career move is an opportunity to clarify and even re-evaluate key aspects of career planning. The Foundations program begins with an interactive session on career exploration in which participants through self-reflection will be encouraged to discover their strengths, values and what motivates them. Once they have developed a vision of their desired career path(s), participants are introduced to tools and strategies for transitioning to the next phase of their careers, including developing a professional portfolio and navigating the interview process. The goal of the program is to enable postdocs to identify and update their strengths, skills and values, and to encourage the development of a solid professional portfolio; this will support postdocs in identifying transferable skills that are applicable to multiple careers in a lifetime.
¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Postdoctoral fellows have a unique opportunity to participate in this valuable program, as the Office of the Vice President Research and Innovation has secured 5 fully-subsidized seats. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to register early to take advantage of this fully funded opportunity. Registration in the program is required, and all participants must be able to attend all sessions in full in order to be eligible to participate. Some pre-work will be required in advance of each session.
