What students are saying

Beyond Grad School's platform offers diverse range of programming that has been incredibly beneficial for all students. Specifically, I found the networking opportunities & career development sessions immensely helpful. The platform's career-focused workshops, mentorship connections, & industry-specific discussions have been instrumental in navigating post-graduation plans & establishing connections within my field of interest. Along with that, platform's resources for skill-building & professional growth have been invaluable in preparing me for job market.

I really appreciate the live webinars/accessing old webinars teaching about skills needed to find a job outside of the academic space (linkedin, writing a resume, etc). I think the most helpful aspect of Beyond Prof's platform is the people. They really understand what it's like to leave the academic world you have been training in for years and their advice is very applicable in the real world of academics choosing new career paths.

I've found Beyond Grad School's platform incredibly helpful in my job search, particularly due to its comprehensive course material and industry-specific guidance. The courses are well-structured, covering everything from resume writing to effective networking strategies, which are crucial in today's job market. Additionally, the platform offers valuable insights into different industries, helping me tailor my job search to specific fields. The flexibility of accessing these resources online and at my own pace has also been a major advantage, allowing me to balance my learning with other commitments. Overall, Beyond Grad School has been instrumental in enhancing my job search skills and boosting my confidence in the job market.

I really appreciate both their live videos and the prerecorded lessons. As a PhD student entering the job market it is exceptional to get a breakdown on what is expected from candidates for job, especially in academia. The discussion of what is anticipated in a job call with regard to a CV, teaching statement, and research statement has been excellent in guiding my preparations and helping me start to draft one for myself.

The Beyond Grad School platform has been invaluable in providing a structured and comprehensive approach to professional development. The programming offered has equipped me with practical skills, industry insights, and a network of like-minded individuals. The platform's emphasis on real-world applications, mentorship opportunities, and relevant resources has significantly enhanced my post-graduate journey, enabling me to navigate the challenges of the professional landscape with confidence and competence.

I have found most helpful the variety of webinars in various themes and topics. I personally was not aware of the variety of career options for me following my PhD program and the different things I would need to know in navigating the job market and presenting myself. Just seeing the variety of themes and topics addressed and attending the various sessions early on in my program has helped me to begin thinking and planning for career options in the future.
