The Alt-Ac Launchpad
October 31, 2023 at 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM
| Location: | Online |
| Audience: | Current Students |
Description:
The transition from graduate school to working outside of academia can be a difficult one. It’s not easy to establish new contacts and adapt to new ways of thinking within unfamiliar fields. For this reason, graduate students should consider the wide range of “alternative academic” or non-faculty career opportunities within academia. This workshop will provide an overview of alt-ac career options with the goal of making you aware of the opportunities around you.
Learning outcomes:
(1) Understand the administrative and support structures within the university
(2) Learn about the duties involved in various types of alt-ac work
(3) Determine how to best present your qualifications and experience when looking for alt-ac work
Workshop leader(s):
David Lafferty
