Fit for the Future – your professional profile

Workshop content

In today's dynamic and complex working world, employers no longer just look at specific specialist knowledge, but increasingly also at methods and, above all, meaningful values and attitudes, the so called Future Skills or Next Skills.
As a graduate you automatically use and train a lot of that Next Skills.
In the workshop you will discover which Next Skills you already use - and how you can convince others (e.g. employers) of your future-skills-profile.

We will focus on transformative skills, like ambiguity skills, design thinking skills, ethical skills, sensemaking, reflective skills, decision-making skills, cooperation skills and learning skills.

If you take a closer look at these skills, you will see that you use all of them in the context of scientific work processes (e.g. a doctoral thesis or scientific project work).

Contents of the workshop:
