AGU Career Guidance is a free, member-exclusive, virtual program that helps advance career and science goals.
Students and professionals at any career stage are encouraged to apply and choose between two topics; advance your career or advance your science. Each topic session spans a month, beginning with two weeks of self-reflection, followed by a virtual event to facilitate collaborative group discussion, and concluding with another two weeks of self-assessment.
Due to the hands-on nature of this program, seats are limited. Join now to reserve your spot.
