Step 1 – Identifying Skills, Interests, and Values

Please complete the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s (AAAS) Individual Development Plan.

You will need to create an account. This online tool will take you approximately 30 minutes to complete. It will ask you to identify your skills, interests, and values. The tool will subsequently list 20 potential scientific career paths for you.

Once complete, please upload here before proceeding to step 2.

Please export the IDP you created via sciencecareers.org and upload here. You can export a PDF of your IDP by navigating to "Print & Export" under "Implement Plan" in the left-hand menu, and select "Print myIDP" to generate a PDF.(Required)

Max. file size: 1,000 MB.

Step 2 – Exploring Career Paths

Now that you have a list of potential career paths that match your skills, interests, and values, the next step is figuring out how you get onto those paths.

Choose 3 career paths from your IDP in step 1. We are going to ask you to do a little research on how to get you on the path. The AAAS IDP offers a starting point regarding learning about these paths. Go to “Read About Careers” under “Career Exploration” and navigate through the tabs that map onto your 3 career paths. You will find in these sections websites, articles, and book suggestions. Feel free to Google and talk to peers, mentors, and other people in your network to learn more about your potential career paths.

In the following sections, we are going to ask you to process what you have learned for each career path. As you process the information for each career path, think about next steps in the short-term and long-term.

The purpose of an IDP is to help you think ahead to get the next career step you want through personal planning and mentorship with DIVERT PIs.
