Derek Attig, Assistant Dean for Career & Professional Development, led "Identifying and Translating Your Skills" on June 23, 2020. In the fourth workshop of the Research Park's Summer Intern Professional Development Series, Attig highlighted the importance of non-technical skills and the methods job seekers can use to discover how their experiences overlap with what employers are looking for. Attendees identified their own skills and practiced how to effectively read a job description at this workshop. 
 
Attig joined the University of Illinois Graduate College in 2015. He currently oversees the Graduate College Career Development services, develops new strategies to support graduate students' and postdocs' professional and career development, and builds relationships on and off-campus to help students succeed at Illinois and beyond.
