NON-ACADEMIC CAREER NETWORK

Your research skills, experiences, and training transfer very well to many career types.

We maintain a database of researchers who have successfully left the academic sphere and entered into alternative careers. These contacts are available for one-to-one consultation to provide an insider opinion of their field of work. See Lucy Lee to access this.
