Course dates First selected course: September 21, 2023 – October 4, 2023 Second selected course: October 5, 2023 – October 18, 2023 Third selected course: October 19, 2023 – November 1, 2023   A career in industry is an attractive option for many young scientists after completing their doctorate or postdoc phase. And quite a few actually choose to leave academia with the aspiration of entering responsible positions in the private sector.   However, given that employees in private enterprises often are required to both pursue different goals and work differently compared to employees in research institutions, scientists need to adopt different mindsets and competences for succeeding in a business environment. In addition to specialist professional knowledge, transferrable skills in the areas of management methods, leadership and communication are particularly required.   To give you a head start for a successful career entry in the private sector, this e-learning program provides initial insights into key competences specifically for the business context. A selection of short online courses examines a variety of relevant topics, taking examples from everyday business life as their starting point. Apart from conveying theoretical background information they offer practical advice and provide suggestions for exercises and self-reflexion. Competences acquired by working thouroughly on these e-learnings can also be helpful for similar tasks in other than industrial work contexts, of course.   Pick three! Depending on your personal needs, you can choose up to three courses from the table below (they are offered in English, German or other languages) and compile them into your personal self-learning programme. Get fit for a career in industry!   Management Methods             Leadership Communication Agile Project Management - Basics (60min) New to the Leadership Role (50min) Moderating Meetings (50min) Developing an Agile Mindset (80min) Female Leadership (80 min) Targeted Networking (100 min) Design Thinking (70min) Making Good Decisions (60min) Basics of Negotiations (70min) Scrum – The Overview (80min) Giving Feedback (70min) Storytelling within the Company (80min) Time Management (70 min) Lateral Leadership (50 min) Argumentieren und Überzeugen (200min) (no longer available in English) Fostering Creativity – Methods for your Toolbox (50min) Successfully Structuring Team Development (60min) Virtual Teams – Communication (50min)   For detailed descriptions of the course contents please follow the links.   Information on registration and course operation In the course of registration, you will be able to indicate a ranking of a maximum of three courses you would like to take. Please choose carefully on the basis of the course descriptions, taking into account that some courses overlap in their content. It might thus be advisable not to choose three topics that are too similar.   This e-learning course is being offered in a self-learning format. You therefore have the option to begin at any time convenient to you and work through it at your own pace. Please note that the indicated course durations refer to the pure processing time of the course contents. Please plan additional time for transfer tasks.   The e-learnings you select will be made available to you sequentially: you will have access to one course at a time and will have two weeks for completing them respectively. (Access to further courses is conditional upon a timely completion of your current course.)   Course dates First selected course: September 21, 2023 – October 4, 2023 Second selected course: October 5, 2023 – October 18, 2023 Third selected course: October 19, 2023 – November 1, 2023   Please note You will receive the login details as well as further information on the course in a separate email on the starting day of the program (September 21, 2023).

Doctoral researchers, however, can still register and will be offered a spot if not all places are taken. If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.

Der Workshop findet an zwei Tagen statt, am 21. und 22. September 2023.   Schreiben ist ein Grundverfahren aller Wissenschaften: Schreibend erfassen wir Probleme, strukturieren komplexe Ideen, klären Zusammenhänge und schaffen so überhaupt erst einen Zugang zu all dem, für andere und für uns selbst. Zugleich bleibt unsere Auseinandersetzung mit dem Schreiben oft auf dem Stand der Schulzeit stecken. Sie brauchen aber mehr!   In diesem Workshop erweitern Sie Ihre Wahrnehmung Ihres eigenen Schreibens und lernen, wie Sie auch komplexe Schreibprojekte erfolgreich planen, gestalten und steuern. Sie erfahren, wie Sie Ihren Schreibprozess systematisch weiterentwickeln, indem Sie persönliche Schreibgewohnheiten hinterfragen und sich Kriterien für gelungene Texte ebenso bewusst machen wie die Funktionen ihrer Bestandteile. Wir werden viel experimentieren – auch mit kontrolliertem Kontrollverlust: vermeintlich ganz unwissenschaftlichen Verfahren, mit denen sich rohe, unfertige Ideen hervorlocken, sprachlich packen und gestalten lassen.   Der Workshop ist darauf angelegt, Sie ins eigene aktive Handeln und Erleben zu führen: Unterstützt durch kurze Vortragsimpulse und den Austausch im Plenum arbeiten Sie in verschiedenen Konstellationen (einzeln, mit Partner, in Gruppen) immer wieder am eigenen Gedankenmaterial und füllen so Ihren persönlichen Werkzeugkasten. Damit das gut funktioniert, bringen Sie bitte neben Gedanken über Ihr aktuelles Großprojekt auch Ihr bevorzugtes Schreibgerät mit – außerdem Stifte in verschiedenen Farben und Papier (am besten blanko).   Der Workshop richtet sich an Promovierende und Postdocs am KIT (Mitglieder des KHYS).   Der Workshop findet an zwei Tagen statt, am 21. und 22. September 2023.   Bitte helfen Sie uns dabei die Qualität unseres Weiterbildungsprogramms aufrecht zu erhalten, indem Sie uns frühzeitig Bescheid geben, wenn Sie nicht an einer Veranstaltung teilnehmen können. Auf diese Weise geben Sie Personen auf der Warteliste die Chance nachzurücken. Wir bedanken uns für Ihre Mitarbeit.
