How to get the most out of your IDP process

The Centre for Graduate Professional Development at the School of Graduate Studies invites you to a new workshop about creating and maintaining an Individual Development Plan (IDP), on October 25, 12:00-1:30 p.m. (online). IDPs are often recommended to both doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars as a way to plan their professional activities and careers. But how do you make sure your IDP is more than just paperwork?

If you are curious about what an IDP is, how it can help you get through grad school and navigate career planning, or how you can get more out of completing your required IDP forms each year, this workshop is for you.  This workshop will cover three key topics:

  • What are IDPs and why are they recommended?
  • How to leverage your IDP to benefit your research productivity, professional development, and career planning
  • How to talk to your supervisor or mentor about your IDP
