This program helps A&S doctoral candidates prepare for their post-PhD careers.
Join a cohort of your peers, organized according to tri-agency (SSHRC and NSERC/CIHR), and meet biweekly on Fridays in the winter term to discuss essential career development topics (e.g., exploring academic and alt-/non-academic careers, networking, and interviewing).

While the program is thoughtfully structured and planned out, it never feels rigid or overly prescriptive. — SSHRC Cohort, PhD, English
