Where to from here? How to use your skills, interests and values to inform your career path

Overview

If you are a PhD candidate or an ECR looking for more clarity on where your training might take you, join us for an interactive workshop focused on helping your to identify potential career paths and development needs. Atendees will be given time to identify their skills, interests and values and how these map onto a range of potential career paths.
