PhD Career Training Platform

The PhD Career Training Platform is an eLearning platform with on-demand, self-paced modules that allow PhDs and postdocs to discover diverse career options and learn how to apply the skills they’ve acquired through their education. Through two programs of study—”Faculty Careers” and “Professional Careers”—members are empowered to make informed decisions about their career path and learn successful job search strategies from other PhDs.

As a member of the platform, you have access to a research-based, structured curriculum to help you through each stage of your job search. Video lessons, workbooks, and assessments will help facilitate your learning experience.

Check out the one-of-a-kind video library and watch interviews with PhD holders working in all career sectors: academic, government, higher ed, industry, and non-profits. Listen to our members-only podcast to learn how PhDs successfully build meaningful careers.

In addition to the guided video lessons, you also have access to monthly live events where you can learn the latest in industry hiring trends.

Students should click the “View Resource” button, select the University of Pennsylvania from the dropdown menu, and login using their University ID.
