Is your career ready to Prosper?
22 October 2024
Prosper is a fresh, innovative approach to postdoc career development that seeks to unlock postdocs’ potential to thrive across multiple career pathways – both within and beyond academia.
Explore the Prosper Portal, a free-to-use online hub packed with insights and tools for developing yourself and your career – for postdocs regardless of disciplinary area. On the Portal you can:
- Reflect – Identify your strengths, skills, values and career goals.
- Explore – Get insights from a wide range of employers in various sectors and discover opportunities and career pathways across 12 career clusters.
- Act – Build practical career skills for effectively building professional networks, pursuing job opportunities, and developing in your current or future role.
Registering on the Portal for free is optional, but doing so unlocks the Career Development Navigator which empowers you to customise Prosper’s resources to align to your unique career situation and trajectory.
Prosper also hosts the Prosper Portal Managers of Researchers, which contains a wealth of resources for PIs looking to develop their leadership skills, and foster a positive, inclusive working environment. Managers can also get involved in the Prosper PI Network – a cross-institutional forum for PIs to connect with peers and share best practice.
