In Spring 2020, a new course on leadership and professional strategies and skills was offered for the first time at MIT in the School of Science. In the past the SoS did not offer any such opportunity but it has been recognized that such training is vital for advancing graduate student and postdoc careers in academia and industry. A large variety of topics useful for all career choices together with interactive components and discussions are covered in this two-part course which will be offered again (online) in Spring 2021.
