Industrial-Organizational Psychologists

There are many ways to learn about a career in industrial-organizational psychology, including reading books about the field, taking a college class on I-O psychology, joining high school and college business and psychology clubs, and participating in internships during college. One of the best strategies is to talk with I-O psychologists about their careers. The American Psychological Association also offers a webinar series called Careers in Applied Psychology at https://www.apa.org/education-career/training/careers-applied-psychology-series, which includes I-O psychology. The Society for Industrial & Organizational Psychology maintains the Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychologists Career Paths Web site. Available at https://www.siop.org/Career-Center/I-O-Career-Paths, it describes career pathways in consulting, academia, government, and industry.
