The Graduate and Postdoctoral Development Network (GPDN) is hosting the inaugural Canadian Career Symposium for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows, November 2-6, 2020. It is aimed at professional development and career exploration for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
The symposium includes a keynote address and negotiation workshop from Anne Krook, presentations from Susan Porter (English) and Marcelline Bangali (French) on identity development, career sessions delivered by GPDN members and invited experts on topics including career self-assessments, labour market research, informational interviews, networking, and research impact.
In addition to these sessions, the symposium will host career panels featuring speakers with advanced degrees discussing their experiences in government, consulting, and alternative teaching professions.
The GPDN is offering tickets to the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows of registered universities at no cost, beginning October 19, 2020.
