As a reminder, our project goals are:
To provide PhD holders in the humanities and social sciences with an online IDP tool modeled after myIDP; to encourage and inspire PhD holders to take focused next steps in their individual career exploration; to enhance PhD holders’ professional development; and to develop self-defined goals to achieve these steps.
This tool contains an array of career possibilities with unobstructed paths from the PhD (i.e., not requiring additional academic degrees or academic training, although on-the-job training may be appropriate in some cases). An equally important component of this tool is its goal setting application that enables the user to map out next steps for career and professional development. As career exploration and goal setting are iterative processes, the project aims to provide a starting point rather than to facilitate closure on the career decision making process.
