2024 S&T Policy Fellows' Career Summit - IN PERSON
Requirements to Attend this Event:
The goal of the Career Summit is to connect emerging science policy leaders to diverse career paths and the career development resources and skills needed to pursue them.
You will have the opportunity to attend a series of career development panels and network with STPF alumni speakers. These panel discussions will highlight STPF alumni who have navigated career paths in the academic, non-profit, government and private sectors. You can also hear from alumni who have navigated mid-career transitions post-fellowship.
The Career Summit workshops will provide new tools and approaches to explore career possibilities, communicate your value, and build professional relationships in different ways. You can choose two workshops out of the four being offered to attend in the afternoon. You’ll also have the chance to attend a follow-up virtual meet-and-greet with STPF Career Coaches on Friday, January 19th.
The in-person summit will be held at the Capital Hilton. More details on the program, speakers, and how to prepare will be provided prior to the Career Summit. In the meantime, you can check this event page and this speakers page for the most current information. You don’t want to miss this dynamic event and the opportunity to connect with alumni and each other!
