Myfutureplan

MyFuturePlan is specifically designed for students and postdoctoral researchers considering their career path. The fundamentals underpinning these group sessions are to help define each person’s preferred behaviour and personality and integrate that with their technical skills, experience, and aspirations. They will be able to understand their preferred career route and best contribution within a research team, organisation, and the wider community which will, in most cases, make them more productive in their final year (Degree, Masters or PhD) and during their post doctoral research. This approach is relevant for all students & PDRAs although the principle focus is the bioindustry. Participants will learn how to build engagement with industry whether they want to join industry or build industry collaborations. This process is underpinned by a unique personality profile developed under the banner of MyFuturePlan. The profile highlights working strengths and limitations, preferred team role, and starts their thinking around ‘what do I do next?’. The first session introduces the profiling and the context of personality within career choices. The second session is a small group session building personal depth into their thinking about their options. Most delegates will want a 1:1 session to ask very specific questions - they will be offered this after session two and it is usually scheduled within 2-4 weeks. Often a cohort is funded by the students or PDRs host institution as they realise their success will help the institutions impact and employability rating.
