The OPTIONS Program: Designing the Professional – Life After Graduate School

The OPTIONS Program is an initiative to support all engineering graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in exploring diverse career options.

Program Details:

Date: Friday October 18, 2019
Time: 9:00 – 4:00 pm
Location: GB202

What do I want to do with my life after grad school? How do I find a career that is meaningful and engaging?

Designing the Professional is a self-discovery and career exploration experience to support you in cultivating a meaningful life and a career after U of T. It was developed by two Stanford engineering professors and is now taught at the Stanford Life Design Lab. This program utilizes design thinking principles to help you uncover what is important to you and how that connects to possible career pathways. We will radically collaborate, brainstorm ideas, and take action to address the “wicked problem” of life and career exploration!

Applications due Wednesday October 9 at 10 am! (Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis.)

Applications will open in late September!
