About the session
Join us as we celebrate your unique skills and attributes as a postdoc and explore how these come together to prepare you for a variety of career pathways.
During the session you’ll begin identifying some of your own transferable skills guided by a member of the Prosper team. You’ll come away with a greater knowledge of how your experiences match the skills employers look for, as well as examples of when you’ve used these skills.
