(URBEST & CPD) Virtual Internships: Web-Based Job Simulations |
March 7th 2:00-5:00 pm Natapow Conference Room 1-9545
Dr. Thi Nguyen, associate dean for graduate career and professional development at the Graduate School at Washington University, will showcase InterSECT a career exploration tool for PhD-level life scientists.
InterSECT engages with an individual’s interests and extrapolates these interests to positions in actual professional settings in industry, academia, and government sectors. While the simulations do not evaluate an individual’s performance on the task, they offer insight into the specific, real-life duties of varying career paths. By completing job simulations, you can consider which careers are of interest to you before committing energy and time to reaching out to professionals in that field, engaging in additional training or attempting an internship.
