Workshop Description:
This workshop is designed for doctoral researchers nearing the completion of their PhD. It provides guidance on refining their personal profile and identifying suitable career paths. What career opportunities are available to me after completing my doctorate? Should I pursue a career in academia or explore the opportunities beyond it? How can professional networks support my future career?

Contents of the Workshop:
Understanding your own profile is a crucial foundation for job hunting. In this workshop, we will identify the skills and competencies you possess and determine the conditions you need to work effectively. Based on this, you will develop your personal “career map”. This knowledge will help you explore potential career fields and build a professional network. You will learn strategies to navigate both academic and non-academic job markets. Additionally, you will receive support in planning your next steps and insights into how to use networks strategically. The workshop includes a combination of short theoretical sessions, individual and group exercises, discussions, and presentations.
