You will create an individual development plan with guidelines for identifying and reaching your career goal. MyIDP includes exercises designed to assess users’ career interests and helps identify research and technical skill strengths. After a user has completed the self-assessment exercises, they will be given a list of 20 common scientific career options starting with the best fit to the lowest.
