About
Our new DOP initiative, PEARL stands for Post-graduate- Early Career- Activity- Research & Learning
This is the second PEARL event and is for everyone currently studying or researching as a post-graduate student in occupational/organisational psychology, or in training (QOP2), along with anyone who has in the last 2 years completed a degree or qualification in occupational psychology.
Within the Occupational Psychology community there is a great deal of interesting and important work being carried out by MSc students, doctoral students, and those on the Stage 2 qualification. Catering for all who are currently studying or researching as a postgraduate student or in training (QOP2) along with anyone who has in the last 2 years completed a degree or qualification in occupational psychology, this webinar provides an opportunity to present your work to your peers and to discuss your career plans in a safe and supportive environment.
Career paths are often non linear within Occupational Psychology, and this event is for everyone who is studying or training in the field, or has recently done so, regardless of where this fits into your life span or overall career journey.
The purpose of the webinar is developmental and aims to help participants acquire skills to enable them to promote themselves, their career, their professional practice and their research. This may include submitting work to conferences, such as the DOP conference, and to peer reviewed journals including the DOP's new periodical, Occupational Psychology Outlook. The webinar will consist of Keynote speakers , academic and practitioner focussed. There will be presentations of postgraduate and/or Stage 2 work and networking opportunities.
