Preparing PhDs for Career Success
With too few opportunities in academia, the majority of PhDs will end up working in non-faculty careers. Most doctoral students and postdocs are unfamiliar with the range of career options available to them, lack confidence in their ability to articulate their value to employers, and are unsure of how to begin a job search outside of academia.
Based on a decade of experience, we have developed a four-step framework and curriculum to guide doctoral students and postdocs through the career exploration and decision-making process, and to implement a job search with proven strategies.
Our one-of-a kind career training platform provides PhDs with the tools and resources they need to confidently build careers wherever smart people are needed.

Support for all doctoral and postdoc programs
Our curriculum helps PhDs identify their unique combination of skills, values, and attributes, and teaches them how to research careers that align with their rubric.
No two historians, anthropologists, or chemists will have the same rubric. We’ve seen historians who love languages learn to code and become software engineers; we’ve seen biologists who love working with students become career advisors.
Through our programming, learners reflect on who they are as a professional, what matters most to them in their work, and identify industries and career pathways where they can leverage their education and training. Our lessons provide proven strategies to help PhDs network, prepare job documents, and articulate their value to employers at each step of the job search – whether in academia or beyond.
This approach is proven to support PhDs from all academic disciplines.
