Graduate Student Professional Development Events
GradCO Professional Development Offerings for Spring 2025
About GradCO
Founded in 2020, GradCO is a collaboration of universities across Colorado. It is designed to deliver a variety
of high-quality professional development workshops, information sessions, and trainings
to our graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Together, we are better researchers,
academics and career professionals. Our cross-Colorado-universities approach provides
early career researchers and scholars a unique opportunity to learn from experts at
multiple institutions and to connect with other early career scholars. GradCO provides
development sessions that align with multiple career-readiness competencies adapted
from the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows across Colorado can attend GradCO Professional
Development webinars hosted at other universities for free. Explore and sign up for
one or more of the offerings below that serve your professional development interests
and needs.
