*The Individual Development Plan (IDP): Strategically Navigate Your 
Scientific Career – with Cynthia Fuhrmann*

*Thursday, April 16: 3:30 – 5:00 PM,  3-133*

Navigating toward your future can be daunting.  Regardless of the career 
path(s) you are pursuing, 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, advocate for yourself, and take 
advantage of lucky opportunities that might come along.

This workshop is designed to prepare scientists for creating their IDP, 
with practical strategies for evaluating career options, setting 
achievable goals, engaging mentors, and adapting to change as your plan 
progresses.

Taught by myIDP co-author Cynthia Fuhrmann, this interactive workshop 
will propel you toward the next step along your career trajectory.
