Job sector search and career preparation

InterSectJobSims

InterSECT is an online platform that allows PhD-level scientists and humanists, regardless of professional stage, to explore future career options. Our goal is to provide true-to-life job simulation exercises that help individuals consider the following questions:

• What are my professional interests and skills?
• How do my interests and skills translate to potential careers?
• What are my career options?
• Which careers haven’t I considered?
