myCHOICE Mini-Courses
The goal of myCHOICE Education programming is to help you develop specialized skills and knowledge through mini-courses and workshops. Designed and adapted for doctoral and post-doctoral trainees in STEM disciplines, our offerings range from five to twelve hours in length and cover topics ranging from lab management and science communications to entrepreneurship, finance, and science policy.
Upcoming Mini-Courses
- Harness Your Scientific Power in Public Policy, January 14th, 15th, and 16th
- Business of Running a Research Group (PSD, PME), January 30th and 31st
- Develop and Grow Your Individual Strengths (StrengthQuest), February 6th and 13th
- Effective Science Communication, February 25th, March 4th, and 6th
The myCHOICE program, and the general feeling of positivity towards career exploration that it brings, has been instrumental in all of my job hunting processes and ultimately in my success in landing a job. I can confidently say that this absolutely would not have been possible without many of the opportunities from myCHOICE.
