New Professional Development Programs for Grad Students Announced
Professional development for graduate students is the focus of a joint effort by the Graduate School, Graduate Student Government and the Michelin Career Center.
"Graduate students are so busy, and so inundated with information, that they may not be aware of the professional development resources the University offers them," said Kristen Walker, assistant director of graduate programs, assessment and off-campus internships at the Center for Career & Professional Development's Michelin Career Center.
New this semester is Versatile PhD<http://career.clemson.edu/michelin_career_center/graduate_students/versatile_PhD/>, a resource for graduate students interested in careers outside of academia. The site hosts stories of real-life career paths, discussion forums, and an array of other resources for those who might want to put their advanced degrees to work in industry, non-profits or other non-academic settings.
There are numerous seminars and workshops produced especially for graduate students, both on the main campus and in Greenville. Click here for a complete list of this semester's offerings. They are all free of charge; some require pre-registration.
"Our first big workshops is the Presidential Management Fellows Program Informational Workshop on September 3," noted Walker. (click here<http://career.clemson.edu/events/event_rsvp/grad_pmf_program_rsvp.php> for details). The PMF program matches outstanding graduate students with exciting opportunities in federal government. The program, considered a leadership training ground, help jump-start careers, provides challenging assignments with full pay and benefits, and is an invaluable networking resource.
"Lots of grad students have no idea that the Michelin Career Center has literally dozens of resources for us," says Hamilton Allen, vice president of the Graduate Student Government. "They have academic salary surveys, H1-B job directories, subscriptions to all kinds of job boards, in-person counseling, mock job interviews so you can practice, and so many others."
