What is Career360?
Career360 is a two-day career shadowing experience that helps doctoral scholars explore potential career paths, gain industry insight, and connect with professionals in the field. By observing your team in action and engaging in career conversations, scholars develop clarity, confidence, and valuable professional connections.
As a host, you have the opportunity to inspire future leaders while highlighting your team’s work and workplace culture.
Why Host a
Scholar?
Hosting a scholar through Career360 is an opportunity to:
Showcase your organization’s talent and impact to highly trained scholars exploring their next steps.
Give back by sharing your team’s knowledge, insights, and experiences.
Build relationships with emerging professionals who could become future collaborators, advocates, or team members.
Provide your staff with a rewarding professional development experience through mentoring, leadership, and reflection.

What Does Hosting Involve?
Career360 is a flexible opportunity for hosts, spanning two in-person days (6–8 hours each).
You’ll begin by welcoming the scholar and offering a brief tour of your workspace. Scholars will then meet team members across roles and observe meetings and tasks to understand your work in action.
A key part of the experience involves career conversations with professionals at different stages — entry, mid, and senior levels — offering the scholar insight into career paths and progression.
Your role is to provide exposure, insights, and engagement, helping scholars explore possibilities in your field while highlighting your team’s work and culture.
