Workshop: Postdoc Pivot

$440.00

Nearly 80% of early career academics have thought about a career change in the past 5-years.

The Postdoc Pivot workshop is designed for academics who want to explore new career possibilities, understand their strengths, and learn the tools needed to build confidence and clarity around what their new direction will be.

Drawing on contemporary research, real-world case studies, and a practical, experiment‑driven approach to career development, this workshop helps academics rethink what a “successful career” can look like - in academia or beyond it.

Across four interconnected themes, you’ll build the foundations for a confident and informed career transition.

This is an interactive, hands‑on workshop. You’ll engage in:

  • Career mapping & storytelling

  • Skills and values exploration

  • Identifying and designing career experiments

  • Exploring networking strategies

You’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction, a shortlist of “possible selves,” and a practical plan for your next steps.

Major career transitions take time often between 2–5 years. They require both emotional and strategic work. This workshop gives you the tools, frameworks, and support to navigate that process with intention. You’ll learn how to leverage your strengths, and the steps needed to build a career that aligns with who you are becoming.
