Welcome to the fourth workshop in the Career Development Programme! The theme for this workshop is alternative career paths, and we are very lucky to have five presentations from former PhDs and postdocs coming to speak with us about how their careers inside and outside academia developed. What skills do we develop in academic settings that are relevant when applying for jobs outside of academia, and how can we adapt our CVs?
