Charting Your Career Path in Research Administration: Race to the Top or Roll of the Dice?

Charting Your Career Path in Research Administration: Race to the Top or Roll of the Dice?  
Sep 19 2024, 12-1PM EST.  

Studies show us that while few people set out purposely to become research administrators (RA) this emerging profession which includes nearly 100,000 people world-wide has much to offer. However, for RAs working in the field, it’s not particularly clear on how to chart a rewarding career. Is career success a conscious race to the top or is it merely a lucky roll of the dice? This interactive webinar will demystify how to take charge of your career for maximum impact and satisfaction and will provide useful tools for your journey. Discussion topics include: identifying career ambitions in light of life priorities, interests and strengths; highlighting emerging RA opportunities; and mapping out a growth plan to achieve your objectives.
