In a second iteration of the non-academic careers workshop, PGN brings to you an exciting panel comprising people who pursued their PhD in various disciplines and charted a successful career path outside of academia. Attend this workshop to learn more about how to navigate careers in academia and beyond and how to put your PhD degree to best use! This will be followed by a general discussion and a Q&A round.
