PGR: Taking your Research Degree into Industry: for STEM PGRs

Many STEM PGRs consider taking their career into industry following a research degree. But how can you go about exploring what industry options might be out there for you? How can you 'sell' yourself to employers beyond the academic sphere? And what can you expect when leaving the academic environment for a different kind of working set-up? This webinar is a chance to hear from a panel of former STEM postgraduate researchers about how they navigated these issues and moved into a range of career sectors.

You will access the event via the Conferences section of the ‘PGR Careers Beyond Academia’ Canvas course. It is important that you enrol onto the Canvas course through the enrollment link AT LEAST 12 HOURS in advance of the webinar in order to view and join the event.
