McGill Global Health Programs is pleased to partner with ThriveHire to offer a hands-on Career Readiness Program to help global and public health students learn tangible ways to translate their skills, experiences, and knowledge into job opportunities.

The program will entail three online sessions: two workshops (accompanied with materials and hands-on activities) covering various career topics, and a final networking event. Some of these include current hiring trends, different career pathways in global public health, practical and ethical considerations in career development, salary considerations, approaches to working locally and globally, and more. Students who attend all three sessions will receive a certificate of completion and enter a draw to win a free, professional CV review by ThriveHire!

  • Workshop Session 2, Practical challenges and considerations for global health career development is taking place on Thursday, November 11th from 12pm-1:00pm EDT. This workshop will include ethical dimensions to different work opportunities and how to vet for these when searching and applying to jobs, salary considerations, approaches to working locally and/or internationally, and our roles in dismantling discrimination and structural violence in global public health and international development.
  • Networking Event Session 3, will feature a moderated panel discussion with global health professionals from different work environments. This event will take place on Thursday, January 13th from 12:00 pm-2:00 pm.

McGill University is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. McGill honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
