/ Life at IQVIA — Post
Create your personalized career path with IQVIA’s Career Model – whether you're already an IQVIAN, or aspiring to be one.
By Trudy Stein, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer |
“What if I currently don’t know what I want to do next?”
If you're unsure about your next career move, you’re in the Explore stage of the Career Model, and you need to investigate your interests and options. Exploring could mean reading articles, attending conferences, or engaging in online courses to broaden your horizons and discover what excites you. Then, you’re much more likely to target the right move for the right reasons.
At IQVIA, we offer resources to help IQVIANs identify their passions and potential next career steps. We understand that twists and turns are normal in today’s career paths, and we use that idea to help IQVIANs consider new career possibilities.
“I know what I want to do next, but what do I need to learn so I can do it?”
If you’re asking this question, you’re in the Develop stage of the Career Model, where you’re looking to identify and build the skills you need to make your next move. This is a great time to leverage open-source online learning resources and certification programs to further enhance your skill set.
The IQVIA Learning Academy helps IQVIANs upskill or reskill by providing access to a variety of courses they can tailor to their career goals, with content focused on the most important skills our company needs for the future.
“I’ve invested the time to learn new skills, but where can I get experience applying them?”
When you’re ready to put your learning to work through hands-on experience, you’re in the Practice phase of the Career Model. This is the time to get involved in professional associations, volunteer for relevant projects, or seek out internships to gain practical experience and build your portfolio.
At IQVIA, Career Connections projects are short-term assignments that can help IQVIANs apply what they’ve learned in a practical setting while providing the project team with the skills they need in the short term. Employees can also use the Career Connections platform to find a mentor in an area of interest.
“I’m ready to take my next career step, so where can I find opportunities?”
This is great news – you’re ready to Progress. When an IQVIAN is ready to make their next career move, IQVIA's Career Connections AI-powered job-matching technology helps them identify roles that align with their skills and career goals.
Job seekers outside IQVIA can uncover new job opportunities here on the IQVIA Careers Site.
Keeping your career development engine running
Career development isn't a one-time event. It's a continuous cycle that feeds your curiosity and highlights new possibilities. Stay future-ready by exploring new interests, developing new skills, and practicing what you've learned. By using the Career Model continuously, you're not just preparing for your future—you're actively shaping it.
