SPH Career Transitions Network
Your public health journey will lead you through multiple stages of your career and many transitions. The University of Minnesota School of Public Health (SPH) believes in supporting our graduates through these transitions so they can continue to improve public health for all.
Facilitated by the professionals of the SPH Career and Professional Development Center, we offer a monthly opportunity for networking, questions, and advice. Each session is confidential and minimally structured to provide time for conversations about your specific transition needs. Possible topics include how to conduct a successful job search, networking strategies, negotiation, and more.
Our Career Transitions Network is free and only open to SPH graduates (any degree or certificate program) who are considering a current or future career transition. All conversations are confidential. For space and hospitality planning purposes, please let us know each time you plan to attend.
Meeting time: Second Wednesday of each month, 12:00-1:00 p.m.
Meeting Location: Meet virtually via Zoom
Questions: sph-alum@umn.edu or 612-625-0333
