What can I do for a career with training in psychology?

We hope this resource helped to answer this question! To reinforce a core theme, there are many, many career paths available for students graduating with a degree in psychology. It is important that you can communicate your knowledge of psychology, and the skills that you’ve developed, during your training. For example, many students in psychology are comfortable with basic research design, data collection, data management, data analysis, and results communication. Students in psychology also receive training regarding research ethics, often engage in collaborative group work, and have experience delivering oral presentations. These are very valuable skills that students sometimes do not think to share when on the job market.
