Navigating toward your future can be daunting. Whether pursuing the 
tenure track or another career path, today’s scientist faces a 
competitive job market that rewards productivity in the lab, stellar 
communication skills, a strong professional network, and professional 
confidence. Creating an Individual Development Plan (IDP) is one way to 
help you strategically work toward these goals.

AAAS’s Science Careers’ myIDP is an online tool for helping you create 
an IDP. In this workshop, you will use the results from your myIDP 
self-assessments, to

(a) evaluate your career options

(b) customize your professional networking strategy to learn more about 
your top choice careers, and

(c) engage your mentors in career-related discussions.

Learn practical strategies for how to set goals tailored to your own 
skills development and career advancement needs.  This interactive 
workshop will propel you toward the next step along your career trajectory.

*Prior to the workshop, take myIDP online at

Workshop will be taught by myIDP co‐author Cynthia Fuhrmann, PhD

*LinkedIn Lab with FREE Headshots***

Career Services staff available to answer your questions. This workshop 
is open to undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs* and alumni.**
