自2017年以来, the NDSU 研究生 Professional Skills (GPS) Academy has offered graduate students enrolled at NDSU tools and resources for career exploration and professional development. The main focus of the GPS Academy has been facilitating graduate students’ pursuit of non-academic career opportunities. 然而, the GPS Academy can also support graduate students who are interested in careers within academia.
注意缝隙
In collaboration with the Center for Writers, the GPS Academy delivers 注意缝隙 as a support program for graduate students who are nearing completion of their program. The end of a graduate program can be a challenging to navigate. 注意缝隙 facilitates graduate students at a similar stage of nearing completion and receive support in the writing processes and job application processes.
我们来谈谈职业
The GPS Academy invites presenters to support current graduate students develop as professionals. 我们来谈谈职业 has happened since 2020 when a panel of graduate program alumni returned to speak about how their experiences completing a graduate program have helped them in their current professions. The presenters have expanded to include graduate program alumni from a variety of professions, professionals in the hiring and sourcing roles, and representatives from the Fargo-Moorhead area discussing how graduates of NDSU graduate programs have and continue to contribute to the success of area businesses.
pd|Hub -职业探索
In 2023, NDSU was selected as one of fifteen R1-classified institutes to join the pd|Hub. The purpose of the pd|Hub is to provide evidence-supported practices in career exploration and professional development. 通过pd|Hub, NDSU partnered with communities of practice located at University of Wisconsin, Madison and the Georgia Institute of Technology. All three institutions implemented a career exploration model developed through a National Institute of Health funded program. The first cohorts at NDSU will complete the program in Fall 2023.
