Yale Career Panels

Yale Career Panels: A Candid View of Professions

Purpose of the Career Panels

The Yale Career Panels were created to give students and alumni a candid view of a variety of professions where there are myths and misconceptions about each industry, its outlook, the types of people who do well and are happy, and how you succeed in the profession. The 42 panels conducted thus far have been live and via streaming video and are recorded for later viewing. Recently, we started a new series of "Yale Career Fireside Chats" focused on career-related issues instead of specific professions. 8 have been held thus far. We have also conducted one "Yale Career Town Hall Discussion".
