In Stage 1, all students in the Engaged PhD program will participate in workshops to improve their skills in the following topics: 

• Communication to different audiences
• Career planning and development
• Effective publishing techniques

These workshops will be delivered by the Learning and Teaching Unit (LTU) as part of UniSA’s UniSA’s Research Education Support Activities (RESA).

Students need to enrol in one RESA workshop in each category by mid-May of their first year of candidature and are encouraged to find workshops that align to skill development topics offered by RESA.

Please note that participation in the RESA 3MT workshop and Division 3MT Heats will count as the 'communication' requirement for Stage 1 of the program.
