What can you expect?
Session I – Who am I?
Explore my purpose & talent
- This meeting our focus lies on self-reflection, labor market orientation and creating a connection between the two. Firstly, we will look at you as an individual. “What are my values, competencies and what is my talent? What is already inside of me and what do I still want to develop?” In addition, we pay attention to the first step of job market preparation: orientation. “How do I get a picture of fields of work, positions and organizations? What competencies are required in the labor market? What is networking?” We conclude by setting personal learning goals.
Session II – What can I do?
Explore the labour market with alumni speeddate
- The second meeting will be focused on asking questions to alumni. You will have the opportunity to talk to several alumni about their careers after college, the choices they made and other experiences, such as their work-life balance or passions. This is a unique opportunity to gain insight and advice from our own alumni!
