Throughout our first career development pilot cohort, we sought to measure and track the impact on participants’ confidence and aspirations, as well as behaviours and outcomes, in relation to their career development and future plans.

“Postdocs are some of the most able, committed and talented individuals you’ll find in today’s workplace. But too often they lack an appreciation of how skilled they truly are, and the extent to which time spent as a postdoc represents a fantastic investment for the future – one that can open all sorts of doors. In relation to this, the findings from the first Prosper pilot are hugely encouraging. It goes to show just how much of a difference it can make when postdocs are given the support they need to take control of their careers.”
