Sunday Event:
Alberta Innovates: Life After Grad School
Join us on Sunday with Alberta Innovates for a morning session on “Life After Grad School,” exploring the different paths available after graduate school, from academia and industry to entrepreneurship and start-ups.
Making the transition from graduate school to the next stage of your career can be both exciting and daunting. In this interactive session, we will hear from individuals who have pursued entrepreneurial ventures, sharing the lessons they have learned, the challenges they have encountered, and the experiences that shaped their successes. The discussion will also invite participants to consider where they would invest their own time, expertise, and resources if given the opportunity to pursue a new venture.
Whether you are considering a career in academia, industry, or entrepreneurship, this session offers an opportunity to gain practical insights, reflect on your own career goals, and engage in meaningful discussions about life after grad school.
