Key info

• Dates: October 14th - November 24th, 2024
• Application deadline: Sep 22nd, 2024
• Target Audience: Anyone who is considering pursuing a career in an EA cause area and who has an existing understanding of EA ideas.
• Content: Participants will complete an adapted version of the 80,000 Hours' career planning template and have weekly discussions with a facilitator and a group of peers interested in pursuing similar career paths.

We think we can help you plan your career by providing structure, accountability, and feedback during your career planning process. Through a combination of reading, exercises and discussions, you'll explore what a high-impact career looks like for you and start making progress on the next steps.

We highly recommend this program if you:

• Are interested in finding a career that is high-impact and a good fit for you.
• Have a good understanding of core ideas in effective altruism and/or have completed an Introductory EA Program or In-Depth EA Program.
• Can commit at least 1.5 hours a week to exercises and readings and 1.5 hours to discussion sessions.

Program Details

• This program is organised by EA Virtual Programs, part of the Centre for Effective Altruism.
• This program will run from October 14th to November 24th, 2024, for 6 weeks and will consist of 1.5-hour facilitator-led group discussions with a cohort of 4-8 participants. We'll try to put people together in groups with other similar career goals so that you have more shared context.
• Note that facilitators are there to guide the discussion and check everyone’s reasoning, but shouldn’t be treated as a career advisor.
• Before attending each session discussion, you’ll complete some brief readings about how to have a high-impact career and work on your personal career planning.
• Before each session, you are expected to do 1.5 hours of preparation, consisting of readings and answering questions in a template.
• This pilot round also includes a follow-up group call 4 weeks after the last discussion session. Although this follow-up call is not strictly mandatory for completion of the program, we strongly encourage participants to attend since we expect it to be helpful for accountability and for reviewing your programs and updating them wherever necessary.
