The PhD Career Pathways Program connects Ph.D. students in the humanities, arts and social sciences with professional opportunities across diverse industries and sectors through impactful partnerships. We work with Pathways sites to scope projects for 9 month internships and facilitate their collaboration with Ph.D. students. Pathways interns offer fresh insights and specialized expertise while gaining real-world experience, building valuable networks and developing skills beyond academia.
