Summary:
In todays fast changing and complex world careers - either inside or outside academia - are getting more and more unpredictable and
thus difficult to plan. Long ago are the times in which one would enter university with a job description in mind, end up in that job and stay in it ever after. Careers are more flexibel, agile and disrupted than ever before. Navigating a career under these circumstances asks for specific mindsets and instruments. This highly interactive workshop equips participants with insights and tools that help them to build a
career that fits their values and strengths. It helps them to move forward towards what is meaningful to them and navigate times of
uncertainty with clarity and ease.

Topics to be covered:

Values: Uncover your Life's Intentions Transferable skills & personality traits: Knowing your strengths and your potential

Networks: Who are your supporters?

Creating career plans: Experimenting with and exploring different paths

Decision making: How to take decisions when facing uncertainty

Keep moving: Taking creative action towards new shores
