How do you help PhD students who want to pursue a non-academic career after graduation? Some programs or departments have the expectation that their graduates will choose careers in diverse fields like industry, healthcare, government, the non-profit sector, or primary education.
But there are lots of graduate programs out there that offer specific training for graduate students on how to enter the academy as a professor.
This kind of training is not so ideal, however, for the many graduate students who are not intending to become professors. And the reality of these times is that more and more PhD graduates are opting for careers outside of academia.
In this 38th episode of the Rise with Clarity Podcast, I want to focus on how you can best support PhD students in their non-academic career explorations. You can find the full written transcript at RisewithClarity.com/38, along with all of my other podcast episodes and other resources for women of color faculty in higher ed.
Dr. Katherine Lee is a Higher Ed Coach and Career Strategist and a former tenured professor at an R1 university. She helps women of color faculty to manage the tenure track, navigate politics, and take the next steps to advance their careers.
