Thinking about your career after the PhD?
Three half-days of explorations and personal encounters with visits to leaders from different sectors of work in Hamburg will broaden your perspective – on what you have to offer and where you might go.
Throughout three half-day workshops, participants of the Navigator workshop will get the opportunity to think about their career trajectory after earning the PhD. You will be encouraged to take a broad look at this upcoming transition. Some of the guiding questions include:
- What skill set do you bring to the table apart from specialized academic training?
- What about your communication skills and your ability to network?
- How comfortable are you negotiating diversity and conflict?
- What exactly does it mean to be in a leadership position?
- What overall values are important to you as you think about your future workplace?
- What professional opportunities may you discover “off the beaten track”?
