Integrating Professional Development into Postdoc Onboarding

Session Description: Professional development is critical for postdocs to develop skills beyond the technical focus of their research. Integrating professional development for postdocs into existing onboarding processes can be an effective strategy to support them throughout their career development, from orientation to next career step. This workshop will (1) provide resources which can be integrated into existing programming and (2) provide support and feedback for attendees to build an action plan for implementation at their institution. In this interactive session, attendees will have early access to the open educational materials developed by the Postdoc Academy team.
