Is a Scientific Career Right for Me or Should I Go a Different Route? How Do I Figure Out What I Really Want? These are questions that many graduate students ask themselves during their studies. In this training, participants learn various techniques for self-reflection and gain new insights through discussion with each other that will help them answer these questions.
Is a Scientific Career Right for Me or Should I Go a Different Route? How Do I Figure Out What I Really Want? These are questions that many graduate students ask themselves during their studies. In this training, participants learn various techniques for self-reflection and gain new insights through discussion with each other that will help them answer these questions. At the beginning, participants take stock and reflect on their strengths and values, as well as the factors they need for satisfaction in a professional context. Based on this self-developed competence profile, they can then look to the future and learn to develop their individual vision and derive concrete goals from it.
Learning goals:
Clarity in (professional) further development, identifying your own interests, skills and values, discovering and developing your own potential, developing an individual vision of the future, gaining new motivation for your own goals.
