Professional Development

Our programs are designed to build professional identities and communities, whether you’re preparing for a career in or outside of academia.

Courses and Training

Graduate Assistant Training (RA/TA)

The Graduate Assistant Training program is required for all new teaching assistants (TAs) and also highly encouraged for both new and returning research assistants (RAs).  This program provides training and resources as well as an orientation of the responsibilities of being an RA/TA.

Preparing Future Faculty and Scholars (PFx)

This coursework will help you identify different types of institutions and their key differences, explore multiple career pathways aligned with your own strengths and interests, and develop a plan to successfully realize your career goals.

Center for Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL)

ASU is a partner institution in the cross-university network of diverse research universities supporting the development of future faculty through the core ideas of teaching-as-research, learning communities, and learning-through-diversity.
