Research Issues in Your Career: Home

What topics and challenges are being discussed by professionals in your field of study? Use this guide to explore what you might find as you graduate from WSU and enter the working world.

Professional Associations and Organizations

Professional Associations - their publications, conferences, and other activities are a window to your (future) career.  Finding out what issues are being discussed in your field of study will make you a more savvy job seeker, and help your transition from being a student to a professional.

None of these resources are exhaustive, so you may need to check through several of them to find the information you want.

Conference Proceedings and Papers

Conferences (or symposiums) are meetings of professionals or academics where short presentations, paper readings, and formal discussions are held.  Searching the literature of conference proceedings and papers are great ways of getting up to speed on the latest ideas.
