Shane Wilkins (Management Analyst at USDA), a member of the APA’s Committee on Non-Academic Careers, writes in about two new resources the APA is offering for philosophers interested in non-academic careers:
The first resource is the new Beyond Academia webpage to replace the old print edition. The goal of the website is to provide useful, actionable information for departments, graduate students, and others who are interested in a career switch. The website should be accessible to everyone.
The second resource is an upcoming APA webinar on “Launching a Non-Academic Career” to be held 4/28/2021 at 1pm eastern time. The three panelists for the discussion will be
-
- Gina Helfrich, PhD (Non-profit technology sector)
Program Officer for Global Technology, Internews - JC Lau, PhD (Video game development)
Producer, Harebrained Schemes - Shane Wilkins, PhD (Public administration)
Management Analyst, U.S. Department of Agriculture
- Gina Helfrich, PhD (Non-profit technology sector)
The facilitator for the panel will be Sherri Lynn Conklin. Please note that registration is required for the webinar, and there will be a video recording available after the fact but registration and the video link are both restricted to members of the APA.
We hope that these two resources will be helpful to an important constituency within the philosophical public and would greatly appreciate your help in making sure that everyone who would like access to this content is aware of it.
