Achieve Your Career Goals is an interactive seminar for PhD students to prepare for careers both inside and outside of academia. Group activities include helping students engage with ideas, a self-assessment on a specific area and small group activities, followed by a larger full group discussion. Students are encouraged to come up with a personal "action plan" to develop areas they wish to strengthen. The collaborative process is sure to identify strengths participants already possess.
Dr. Loleen Berdahl (PhD) is a professor and head of the Department of Political Studies at the University of Saskatchewan. Her new book, Work Your Career: Get What You Want From Your Social Sciences or Humanities PhD, presents a systematic mentoring program full of practical advice.
