Description
There are a variety of jobs available to school psychologists, both in and out of public schools. However, school psychology graduate students may only have experiences in public school settings during their training. The purpose of this panel-style session is to introduce attendees to nontraditional settings in which they can thrive. Panelists will provide an overview of their jobs and offer guidance on how to prepare for less traditional career paths.
