NSC Post PhD - moving out of academia

- Export as iCalendar
Location: Wolfson Research Exchange- Seminar rooms

Not sure you want to stay in academia? Think you might be able to use your skills better elsewhere? Want more stability in your chosen career?

Whatever your reasons, a career out of academia, or not being an academic, can be extremely fascinating, more suited to your values and desires, and employers are very keen to see highly skilled people working in their environments.
This mornings session will hear from speakers who have moved in to different areas of industry, third sector, entrepreneurship and why they chose their route.
Get some hints and tips from our presenters to further embed your knowledge on how to talk about your PhD experience in the language that employers out of academia understand.
And even if it is your back up option, you need to know soon what employers want since only about 50% of newly qualified PhDs stay within academic roles.
Includes an opportunity to network with presenters and colleagues over a networking coffee break.
