Workshop

How to Be More Employable in the Private Sector (two-day)

Dienstag, 07. Februar 2023, 9:00-17:00
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Bldg. 50.41, seminar room 145/146 (first floor)

The workshop will be held in English and run for two days, on February 7 and 8, 2023, 9 a.m to 5 p.m.

 

So, you’ve decided to head out into the private sector to ‘turn science into things people need’. Excellent choice! While the private sector is a very exciting and dynamic environment that is full of rewarding career options for scientists, it is also very different than the career path you were trained for. You will need to develop new work habits and learn some new tools to be successful. This course, taught by an instructor with more than 20 years’ experience hiring and managing scientists and engineers in the private sector, will give you a head start.

 

The course will enable participants to:

 

  • Understand the environment they will experience when entering an industry career.
  • Describe the success factors in a private sector career.
  • Understand how and where their unique strengths as a scientist make them particularly well suited for an industry job.
  • Know how to successfully start an industry career (get to know employers, score a job, work effectively in their job).
  • Figure out whether an industry career is a good option for them.

 

The course is highly interactive, mostly based on lectures, discussions and interactive exercises.

 

Eligibility: This event is hosted by the KHYS Postdoc Office. Postdocs (who are members of KHYS) will therefore have priority for attending. 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.

 

The workshop will be held in English and run for two days, on February 7 and 8, 2023, 9 a.m to 5 p.m.
