FishCAST: A radical new training program for early career researchers
ATTN: students in fisheries, aquatic science, ecology and conservation — you’ll want to take note of this.
FishCAST is a NEW co-curricular training program designed by Canada’s leading experts in fisheries and aquatic science to train graduate students and provide them with the connections and hands-on experience necessary for lasting career success.
“I am really excited to be directing this program, which at its heart, harnesses the power of diversity in people, ideas, and backgrounds. Collectively, our mission is to train the next generation of fisheries and aquatic science leaders in the communities of Canada. I believe positive change is on the horizon and am so enthusiastic to be a part of this journey!”
— Dr. Christina Semeniuk, FishCAST Director
FishCAST curriculum includes internships, workshops, and specialized field courses. Tailored to every student’s individual needs and research interest, it truly is a remarkable opportunity.
“The FishCAST team and partners all share a vision for this program that ensures the next generation of fisheries and aquatic science experts will be job-ready, complete with networks of peers, partners and PIs in place. As part of their training, they will be immersed in experiences to help build their confidence including field skills, grant writing, as well as being exposed to various dimensions of working and conducting research on treaty lands, and in fostering meaningful relationships with local communities and Indigenous First Nations.”
— Dr. Catherine Febria, FishCAST Associate Director
