TAlogoThink Ahead Programme

The Think Ahead programme is a comprehensive blend of training workshops, career mentoring, and carefully selected work-based opportunities. We aim to ensure that every researcher has a career trajectory and access to tailored development activities including the flagship SURE scheme for ECR primary supervision of summer student projects. Our research-led approach ensures the programme is continually updated to reflect the current needs of researchers and employers

Careers advice and training

Career success requires you to Think Ahead; to understand the value of the skills you have and of those you need to develop. We can help you to think strategically about your next career move and the skills you will need. There are tools and training programmes you can use to make the most of your time in the Faculty.

Partner groups

Think Ahead works in conjunction with many other partners within the staff development community. This includes other departments within the University of Sheffield, as well as national and international councils, organisations and networks. Most notable is our close collaboration with the Faculty Research Staff Association (MDHRSA) which defines and endorses the Think Ahead programme.
