Impact Indicators and Instruments for Individual Development Plans (I3IDP)
Physical and Earth Sciences, Professional Development
Career development initiatives to prepare doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in the sciences for diverse professional options have been underway for more than a decade. While students talk about how the process can benefit them, there has been little research on the impact of career planning tools and the most effective ways to use them.
The project, “Impact Indicators and Instruments for Individual Development Plans” (I3IDP), evaluated best practices for using the IDP process to help individuals chart their professional growth, and develop a toolkit to help diverse institutions test and enhance their own career planning programs and curricula.
