Graduate Student Professional Development Events

GradCO Professional Development Offerings

About GradCO
Founded in 2020, GradCO is a collaboration of universities across Colorado. It provides a variety of professional development workshops, information sessions and trainings. Working together, we are better researchers, academics and career professionals.

This approach provides an opportunity to learn from experts at various institutions. It also allows you to connect with other early career scholars. GradCO provides development sessions that align with many career-readiness competencies. These are adapted from the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

Graduate students and Postdoctoral Fellows across Colorado can attend these webinars for free. Explore and sign up for one or more of the offerings that serve your development interests and needs.
