TRAJECTORIES is a new professional development program designed specifically for Carleton graduate students and postdocs. It offers multiple Skill Pathways comprised of workshops and modules that cover a wide array of in-demand skills. Each Skill Pathway provides a blueprint for enhancing key career competencies and improving overall employability.

TRAJECTORIES is informed by the three components of effective professional development:
- Learn: attend workshops and modules to start developing new skills and tools and learn some of the principles of professional development
- Implement: practice applying what you learn in workshops and modules, whether within your ongoing academic projects or in your non-academic activities
- Consult: request a consultation to receive feedback on your work, plans, and progress
Use our Progress Tracker to record your attendance and reflections after participating in each session:
You can follow the TRAJECTORIES pathways on your own, or you can contact us to consult on how to proceed. Just send an email to david.lafferty@carleton.ca and karim.abuawad@carleton.ca and let us guide you through!
