Join us for a collaborative webinar uniting expertise from SIOP’s Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DIA) Subcommittee, Military and Veterans Inclusion (MVI) Subcommittee, and Practice Committee (PC) to explore how I-O Psychology can build more inclusive and sustainable career pathways.
This session focuses on four critical transition points that many professionals face: moving from academic training into applied practice, transitioning from military service into I-O careers, navigating from early career into leadership roles, and thriving as a master’s-level practitioner in the field.
Panelists representing each committee will share lived insights, and actionable guidance across four key focus areas:
- Neurodivergent Strengths in the Workplace
- The Military-to-I-O-Pipeline
- Master’s Level Practitioners in the I-O Ecosystem
- Career Spectrum and Success Pathways
Whether you’re preparing to enter the workforce, a veteran exploring I-O psychology competencies and career path options, a master’s-level practitioner seeking growth opportunities, or a mentor supporting others through transitions, this webinar offers practical guidance grounded in research and lived experience. Participants will leave with concrete resources, networking opportunities, and a deeper understanding of how to create environments where diverse cognitive styles, experiential backgrounds, and educational pathways are recognized as strengths in our field.
