How do I use my competence portfolio for my (future) job?
For doctoral and postdoctoral researchers it is often a challenge to acknowledge how valuable their skills and experiences are for the non-academic labour market. This panel-discussion gives you insights into the different career paths of HHU alumni and how they settled into their jobs after their doctorate by using their skills. This session will support you to see job opportunities outside of academia. The following get-together will allow you to get into further discussion with the panelists.

Get your career started - where to begin and where to go to?
The possible career paths after the doctorate are often not immediately apparent to graduates. Following a competence-based approach, this talk gives impulses for a conscious reflection of one's own path. For this, the previous career path, the current position as well as possible future paths have to be taken into account.
Over the course of the morning, subsequent sessions will provide insights into the various career paths of graduates.
