Pitching myself for industry: My strategy for success

Academic or specialist Other

Description and objectives

Bridging the gap from academia to industry requires adapting our frame of mind, discourse and posture to a new and sometimes unfamiliar audience! We will together - in two stand-alone and complementary one-day workshops - build your road map for change from academia to industry, exploring what’s keeping you back, what drives you and how you can bring together your vision and intention.

In this Workshop, you will together:

Define your values, drivers and vision
Connect with who you are, what you want and your why
Explore your strengths and opportunities for growth
Consider best practice for an industry CV and CL
Share best practice for applying and networking
Together we’ll design your personalised strategy and action plan !

Approach

This workshop will, through a hands-on experiential learning approach, help you design your personalised road map for change. You will achieve clarity on what is important to you, where you find fulfilment, your achievements to date and what changes you’d like to make. And build a network of peers in a safe and confidential framework.
