[Nhcoll-l] Last Chance to Register: AIBS Employment Acquisition Skills Boot Camp for Scientists

[Jyotsna Pandey]

*How to market yourself, excel at interviews, and secure the job you desire*

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate programs
in the United States do an excellent job of preparing students for careers
in academia. As early career professionals and a growing number of reports
note, however, many STEM graduates (including those with advanced degrees)
are interested in employment in sectors beyond the professoriate.

Scientists continue to report that they feel ill-prepared and ill-equipped
to pursue employment in these settings.

To help scientists identify and successfully transition into the careers
they desire, the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) developed
Employment Acquisition Skills Boot Camp for Scientists. This intensive
multi-day program blends lecture and hands-on exercises. Designed by
scientists with years of work experience in diverse settings and a career
coach, the program provides graduate students to senior scientists with the
information, tools, and resources required to successfully identify and
secure employment in a diversity of careers, including science policy,
communications, researchers or program managers in the private sector,
research funding organizations, non-profit management, international
development, government agencies, and others.

Course participants will:

   - Identify and clarify career interests and opportunities;
   - Learn to communicate their knowledge and skills to employers;
   - Develop strategies for finding employment;
   - Develop application materials with feedback from instructors;
   - Prepare for and practice different interview styles and scenarios.

*Who should take this course?*
Current graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, and scientists
interested in transitioning to a new employment sector.

*Date and Location*
This course will be offered online in three half-day sessions conducted on
September 25, October 2, and October 9, 2020. The program will be offered
live from 12:00 - 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
