Individual Development Plans: A Strategic Tool for Career Development
What’s next for your career? Build a plan—not just a CV.
Postdoc life moves fast, and it can be hard to carve out time to step back and think strategically about where you want to go next. An Individual Development Plan (IDP) can help you identify your career goals, map out the skills and experiences you need, and turn those goals into actionable next steps.
Join Senior Director of Research Leadership Development Kirsten Rowell for a session on using an IDP to take control of your professional development—whether you’re considering academia, industry, government, or another path.
Why attend?
Clarify your short- and long-term career goals
Identify the skills and experiences you need to get there
Create concrete next steps for your professional development
Learn about a framework that is increasingly relevant to research funding, including NSF proposals
IDP resources are available in advance for those who want to get a head start.
