ONLINE WORKSHOP: CAREER GUIDANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL PHD CANDIDATES (DAY 1) | RADBOUD UNIVERSITY

During the three-day PhD Career Guidance workshops, one full-day and two half-day (virtual) workshop sessions aimed at international PhD candidates will help participants get a grip on their international career development and cultural differences in looking for work in the Netherlands and beyond.

The international workshop focuses the attention on strengths and possibilities and is aimed at bringing clarity to career development for non-Dutch PhD candidates. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own action plan for their next career step. Most importantly, they will be able to act on that action plan and take their career towards the next level, either within academia or beyond, and either within the Netherlands or elsewhere.

KEY LEARNINGS:

PhD candidates will work in interactive (virtual) sessions:

• Creating an insight into personal and career goals
• Providing a systematic process for exploring career needs
• Focusing on the current position, desired destination, and unique personal resources (based on career interest, skills, values, and personal style)
• Enhancing practical career skills (in a global world)
• Comprehending the cultural differences that accompany looking for work in the Netherlands & beyond
