Product Description

Success in Graduate School and Beyond is designed to empower graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in STEM with practical tools, tips, and skill development strategies to plan and create their dream career pathway. Intended as a professional development course book, this balanced, self-reflective guide to workplace readiness is organized into five sections that support graduate student development: self-reflection, wellness, skills, networking, and planning for future success.
Written in a conversational style, this guidebook includes clear learning outcomes based on the authors' successful graduate professional development course at the University of Toronto. Covering increasingly important career subjects such as mentorships, transferrable skill development, emotional intelligence, and EDI, this guidebook solves a skills gap and builds core competencies demanded from industries and academia. Interspersed personal accounts from the authors about key topics and seven Alumni Career Profiles describing various career trajectories work to encourage self-awareness and promote essential skill development and networking proficiency. With this book, STEM students will be equipped with the abilities and tools to achieve success in graduate school and beyond.
