The College of Graduate Mentorship supports upper-year PhD students and postdocs in their transition into the job market through their mentorship program and TRaCE Talks series.
TRaCE Talks
This series of 8 panel discussions with McGill PhD alumni aims to increase the visibility of potential career paths for PhD graduates and to provide an opportunity for contact and mentorship between current McGill graduate students and alumni.
The TRaCE Talks builds on the work of the TRaCE McGill project, which collected statistical information on the career pathways of over 4500 McGill PhDs who graduated between 2008 and 2018. The project also published the narratives of over 100 of these PhD graduates that provided further insight into the challenges and successes of McGill PhDs in their career progressions. In the 2020-2021 academic year, some of these graduates were invited to speak about their experiences in the Pathways for PhDs speaker series.
