The Yeates School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies is excited to present the Winter 2024 session of GRADTalks!

In today’s workplace reality, many graduate students and postdocs will be searching for jobs and careers in settings outside of the academy. For some, this might have been the plan all along. For others, this may represent a shift in thinking about their future. 

Join us for this engaging panel discussion on the realities of making the transition from academia to other sectors, such as government, industry and not-for-profit. Learn about the experiences and trajectories of former graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are now in career positions outside of academia.

Panel:

  • Dr. Ali Khosousi, Senior Data Scientist, Amazon
  • Dr. Sandra Romain, Senior Policy Advisor, Department of Policy Advancement , ᐃᓄᐃᑦ  ᑕᐱᕇᑦ  ᑲᓇᑕᒥ/ Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) 
  • Sahar Raza, Director of Policy Communications, National Right to Housing Network

There will be a follow-up workshop in the spring to this event.

There will be a reception with light refreshments.

All TMU graduate students and postdocs are invited. This event qualifies for the Future Smart program.
