Pathways: Careers Options for Researchers

Pathways is an annual career development event for postgraduate researchers and research staff, held at The University of Manchester.

In 2011, the event will be held over three days:

Day 1 (Friday 10th June): Career Options – a chance for delegates to question PhD qualified professionals from a wide variety of sectors, roles and organisations. Participants can choose to attend 5 from 40 available expert panel sessions.

Day 2 (Monday 13th June): Interviews and Assessment - offers delegates the chance to partake in a range of interview and assessment practical exercises, appropriate to a range of careers.

Day 3 (Wednesday 15th June): PhD Employer Zone @ The Graduate Fair – an exhibition of organisations who are particularly interested in recruiting people with a PhD. Attendees can also access independent advice from careers consultants with specialist knowledge of the researcher employment market.

We would like postgraduate researchers and research staff from Vitae partner institutions across the NW Hub to benefit from this event in June 2011. We are therefore offering places at this event at the following rates:
