Comment/Description

The workshop is given by Gaby Schilling, Kepos GmbH, Mannheim.


The workshop is for PhD students in the first half of their project.

Goal: Getting to know about professional perspectives in public and private sectors and reflecting about own suitability to different career paths; setting the direction of one`s professional future by developing specific skills during the PhD project;

The workshop deals with what career means and which personal career objectives matter. Participants are introduced to different science-related career paths in the public sector (including universities, but not restricted to) and private enterprises, and which technical and personal skills matter, respectively. Moreover, participants get the opportunity to reflect their own competences and objectives as well as their suitability to these different career paths. Finally, participants develop an individual strategy to prepare their next career steps.



Comments by former participants:

* Good starting point for career planning
* Showed perspectives both inside and outside of academia.
* Helpful to get impression on job chances. Broad overview on job chances for PhDs. Very good trainer.
A new way to see the options after the PhD. There are more opportunities than expected. It also offers a new look at yourself and your potentials.
