Description
Careful planning of a career is most important for achieving attractive career goals and leading a balanced work-life. However, finding orientation for such a career plan can be challenging. Especially women feel confronted with a complex mixture of personal and external interests in work and life, which need to be incorporated into the process of planning. Fortunately, the job landscape is diverse and provides a wide range of opportunities to pursue a fulfilling, individual path, once we know how to navigate and where to go.
This workshop explores the landscape in which we can orient ourselves in our life and for our next career steps. It does this with a specific focus on MINT academic careers. In this workshop
- we look into ‘navigation’ tools that aid both in orienting and proceeding on our own track in a complex, dynamic environment,
- we survey our unique potential and interest, explore our personal mixture of needs and wishes for a vital (work) life, and create a first map for career/life planning,
- we review the variety of modern jobs and careers and look into opportunities, requirements, working conditions and cultural differences of various careers inside and outside academia to get some perspectives on possible future directions (be it professor, r&d manager, entrepreneur or others).
Note:
The one-day workshop is completed by a series of coachings to clarify personal career questions that could not be discussed in the workshop. Depending on the number of people interested, those coachings last between 20 min and an hour. Please indicate your potential interest in a coaching together with your application to the workshop. Last minute spaces will be filled during the workshop.
