Building on knowledge gained from attending “The Universe of Careers Outside of Academia Available to STEM Graduates,” trainees will have an opportunity to identify, test, and validate skills gaps for desirable careers. This workshop, led by Josh Henkin of STEM Career Services, will introduce principles of Design Thinking and apply them to career exploration and development. Attendees will participate in exercises designed to help them become competitive candidates by broadening their perspectives on career choices, understanding which skills are needed to get the jobs they seek, and learning how to develop those skills during their academic training. By attending this workshop and applying the techniques discussed, attendees will be able to increase the likelihood of being a top candidate for the positions they seek upon completion of their academic training.
This workshop will enable hands-on individual, partner, and small group work through Zoom software capabilities.
