GPDN aims to educate and inspire Canadian graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to develop and take action to achieve current and future career goals. Join our supportive network of professionals, where career development professionals and administrators share resources with other professionals, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows; establish collaborations; and advance graduate and postdoctoral training, research, and development.

We welcome and invite individuals from the following groups to become GPDN members:

Group A: Regular member


Staff or faculty in a recognized post-secondary or research affiliate institution who supports graduate student and/or postdoctoral development.

Professionals employed outside post-secondary or research affiliate institutions who support graduate students and/or postdoctoral fellows (e.g. members of Tri-Council, Conference Board of Canada, MITACS, etc.), professionals previously employed in the field undergoing a career transition, individuals working in post-secondary or research affiliate institutions but without a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow portfolio, or independent career coaches and consultant.
