Vitae is an organisation devoted to training researchers and enabling them to get the skills they need to succeed at doctoral level and beyond. From the Vitae website:-

"GRADschools are experiential learning courses designed to develop your transferable skills as a postgraduate researcher. Many researchers who attend the course have a transformational experience, empowered to take charge of their own learning and career. GRADschools are designed to enable you to:-

• develop your personal effectiveness
• identify ways to communicate effectively
• make more informed choices about your future and own and manage the next step of your career.

For more information on what is involved in taking part on this course and what is in it for you please see our section on GRADschools."

Opportunities!

• meet a whole host of postgraduate researchers from a variety of disciplines, backgrounds and ages
• work with a range of experienced, inspiring people from all over the country, or sometimes further afield, who are willing to openly share their career experiences
• take a few days out from your research both physically and mentally, and have some space in which to consider yourself and your next steps
• assess your career and professional progress with the use of different tools, including the new Researcher Development Framework.
