Summary

Networking, negotiating, communicating, leading, career planning. Did anyone ever teach these skills to you?

The Career Toolkit will help you master these vital skills and yield outsized returns for your career and your income.

No matter how great an academic institution you’re at, chances are it doesn’t focus enough on the critical skills everyone tells you you need: building a strong network, leading, teamwork, learning to negotiate, etc. Most schools assume you’ll figure it out as you go. And you probably will… a decade or two into your career after many missteps. Instead, get a head start with The Career Toolkit.
