What are you doing after you graduate? This is one of the biggest questions facing trainees in the life sciences. The Stem Cell Network and Medicine by Design(opens in new tab), the academic division of CCRM, have partnered to host Careers Beyond Academia, a virtual career seminar series that will profile a wide variety of different careers available to trainees who hold a degree in the life sciences. The goal of this series is to help trainees understand the different careers available outside of academia, the skills required for certain positions, and some of the daily functions of those positions.

Each session will feature two speaker presentations that will be recorded and available on SCN’s website and YouTube channel. Trainees will be able to participate in a joint Q&A and panel discussion during the session. The last half hour of each session will be open networking time where trainees can opt to join a breakout room with the panelist.
