Goals

Our central goal is to equip graduate students with key skills and competencies to thrive as they become valuable, well-rounded, and fulfilled members of the academic, public, and private sector workforces.

Challenges

Graduate students at the RFHS are a heterogeneous group representing diverse future career paths in the Health and Bioscience sectors. Furthermore, many programs include rigorous requirements for research and/or course work, leaving only a short amount of time for professional development learning and activities. Herein is an organized, vetted list of widely applicable resources that students can access as needed and as time allows, throughout the course of their degree and beyond.

Priorities

Our priorities are to:

• Leverage existing professional development resources from the University of Manitoba and external partners
• Continually expand and improve on these resources to meet the specific needs of our students
• Build relationships with alumni and employers for the purpose of mentorship and job placement
