Are you worried about getting a job post PhD? Are you unsure how to set yourself up well for the field that you want to work in?
While PhD students are highly qualified and well-versed in their field of research, it is not uncommon for them to struggle to articulate the employability aspects of their skills and qualifications. They can also be so focussed on completing their research that they forget to strategically enhance their employability throughout the PhD journey.
This highly interactive in-person workshop (2hr) will be delivered by Dr Merran Blair, a Lecturer in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food at Monash University, whose research focusses on graduate employability.
Dr Blair will guide students through a process of understanding the key attributes and skills that enhance an individual’s employability, how to develop these and how to articulate them to potential employers.
If you are a student early in your candidature, you are especially encouraged to attend this Masterclass, as the knowledge gained can be utilised and expanded upon during your studies (building networks, etc).
Seminar contents
By the end of the workshop, the participants will be able to:
- identify potential career goals (e.g. academia, industry, government)
- identify employability skills that need to be developed during the PhD journey
- understand the key employability skills sought by employers
- have a plan for how to enhance employability during the PhD journey
Students will be invited to work in small groups throughout the session for discussion of their future career plans and unique employability skills.
