Are you wondering what your career options are outside of the academy and
how to explore them?  How can you best position yourself for your future by
developing the necessary skills and experiences?


In this course, we will explore the diverse array of careers available to
you, meet STEM professionals, create your network, and design a career
development plan that will help prepare you for diverse careers.  This
dynamic and interactive “flipped classroom” course provides guidance and
resources to help you make informed decisions about your professional
options with a PhD in a STEM field.


*All applicants must be currently enrolled in a PhD program at the
University of Arizona in a STEM discipline. *


*How this course works*:  Most weeks there will be a short (10-15 minute)
video to watch and a short, related assignment due prior to class.  These
assignments will include writing short reports and reflections on weekly
tasks such as self-assessment, decoding job ads, creating a
networking/mentoring list, informational interview questions, creating a
career plan, and a personal career journal designed to help you with your
job materials and interviews.

We will meet each week to have energetic and involved conversations about
diverse careers and address your questions and concerns about your career
path.  This will be your opportunity to ask questions and practice your
career-related skills in an inclusive and welcoming environment.   You
should come out of this course with an assessment of your own career
interests, skills, and experiences; a career development and networking
plan; a network of relevant STEM professionals; and expertise in conducting
informational interviews with STEM professionals.
