Career Development Workshop – Preparing Scientists for Industry Careers

Join Life Science Washington for a free “Learn By Doing” in-person workshop presented by SciPhD on March 13 and 14.

With an increasing number of available jobs shifting from academia to industry settings, understanding the skills necessary to compete for and succeed in an industry position is critical. This workshop will provide you with interactive experiences and guidance as you prepare to move beyond academia and pursue your career, and an opportunity to network with local industry! SciPhD will facilitate the workshop.

Participants may still be enrolled in their professional programs or recent graduates.
