The journey to find meaningful work in any field (be it in academia or outside of it) is rarely a clear and direct route.
But those with graduate degrees in biological anthropology encounter a particularly unique challenge. And we're often left to struggle through and deal with it on our own.
If you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or concerned about the road ahead, this program is for you.
ACE for Anthropologists is a personalized professional development program, designed by biological anthropologists (us, with the help of CABA-ACAB) for biological anthropologist (you) to support students and recent graduates through the process of applying for jobs outside of academia.
