Join the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) for:
Degrees of Success: Exploring the challenges and lived experiences of PhD students and recent graduates and their entries into the workforce
12 p.m. (EST) on February 4, 2021
by
Elizabeth Cannon O.C., PhD, FRSC, FCAE
Emerita President and Vice-Chancellor at the University of Calgary
and Chair of the Expert Panel on Labour Market Transition of PhD Graduates
The findings from the CCA’s latest report, Degrees of Success will be presented at the 58th annual Canadian Association of Graduate Students Conference (CAGS). The presentation will be followed by an interactive Q&A moderated by Eric M. Meslin PhD, FRSC, FCAHS, President and CEO of the Council of Canadian Academies.
The report describes how Canada could be sitting on a significant untapped resource, as the number of PhD holders in this country rises, but persistent barriers make it hard for them to put their skills to work. PhD graduates play a critical role in the Canadian economy, but many are missing out on important opportunities to contribute their expertise and bolster growth and innovation.
While the CAGS conference is a paid event, this session is available at no cost. Registration is required – REGISTER
