strong organization skills can prove just as useful when it comes to mapping out your career.</p><p>In these career planning modules, we learn about the importance of investigating and considering all options before deciding on your next step. We discover why knowing and understanding yourself can be the key to making good choices. We explore whether a PhD is valued outside academia, and we hear why changing career, or even your field of study, can bring big benefits and opportunities for fresh and novel thinking.</p> <div class="start-learning-button"> <a href="/career-path/career-planning/business-development-researchers">Get Started</a> </div> </div> <section class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__information"> <h2 class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__information-title">What you will learn</h2> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__objectives"> <ul><li>Guidance on strategic career planning</li><li>What industry employers think of PhDs</li><li>Help with choosing a field of study</li></ul> </div> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__metadata"> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__time"> <h3> Total Time</h3> <p>2+ hours</p> </div> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__modules"> <h3>Complete</h3> <p><span>0</span>/4</p> </div> <div class="taxonomy-term-era-cycle-era-topic__language"> <h3>Language</h3> <p> <span> English</span> </p> </div> </div> </section> <h2> Modules in Career planning</h2> <div class="view view-topic-modules view-id-topic_modules view-display-id-overview"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row"> <div class="node node--type-era-webinar node--promoted node--sticky node--view-mode-era-module-list-default clearfix node_module_list_default row"> <div class="module-image small-12 columns"> <div class="field field--name-field-era-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <a href="/career-path/career-planning/business-development-researchers" hreflang="en"><img src="/uploads/styles/era_medium_cropped_400_240/public/2020-02/Elsevier-ResearchersAcademy-August2019-9-10_10-v5-2.jpg?itok=daMbuyqD" width="500" height="300" alt="Illustration" loading="lazy" class="image-style-era-medium-cropped-400-240" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-overlay"> <div class="field field--name-field-era-duration field--type-duration field--label-hidden field__item">21 m</div> <div class="field field--name-field-era-cycle field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Career planning</div> </div> </div> <div class="module-content small-12 columns"> <h3><a href="/career-path/career-planning/business-development-researchers" rel="title">Business Development for Researchers</a></h3> Business benefits with deep insights from research, but is it possible for researchers to benefit from business models?
