Not sure if the program’s for you? This is feedback from a STEM doctoral student who participated in Thi’s workshop on campus last year: “Thi is an engaging presenter and the job sims are a fantastic resource. I’ve found all the QB3 professional development workshops to be informative and useful, but this was my favorite by far. It’s such a unique resource, and not something I would have stumbled on anywhere else. Honestly, I would recommend offering this workshop at least once a year.”
