Job simulators
Job simulators allow you to gain a realistic sense of what tasks a particular job entails through experiential learning exercises.
Secondments or job shadowing opportunities are not always possible, so job simulators can be a useful alternative. They allow you to engage with real role-based scenarios, providing a risk-free opportunity to assess whether these typical tasks align with your preferences. We highlight the following job simulators as they have been created specifically for a PhD-level and above audience.
