This NSF supported CCSF-UCSF collaboration is inviting biotech-bioscience community college students, alumni and faculty/staff to join online workshops developed for community college bioscience-biotech students and provide input/feedback to help adapt them to a broader audience.
Goal of the Workforce Navigation Training: Provide students/trainees with the knowledge, skills, support and clarity they need to effectively assess and successfully navigate any lab environment and achieve their professional and career goals.
Go beyond focusing solely on presenting yourself as the optimal candidate and utilize the interview to determine if an internship/job opportunity is a “Good Fit” for you! In this workshop gain strategies to clarify your career and educational goals and frame questions to obtain accurate information to assess if a workplace will support those goals, while also learning to recognize potential misalignments.
Learning outcomes:
- Define what a ‘bad fit' or 'toxic work environment’ is
- Outline and clarify your own goals before the interview
- Use questions during an interview to determine whether a workplace is in alignment with your goals and values
- Articulate strategies and practice language to frame questions
- Describe examples of verbal and non-verbal red flags indicating the opportunity may not be a “Good Fit”
- Describe factors that can make it difficult to recognize and weigh the potential impact of red flags during and after an interview
- Workshop
- Bio and Chemical Technologies
