Content
Students will work in teams, develop, and deliver a professional training workshop. The workshop should be planned and organized based on different training needs assigned in the beginning. The training workshop is interactive training where participants carry out interactive training activities rather than passively listening to a lecture. Coaching meetings and practical seminars are offered throughout the learning journey.
Students will work through the process of finding a job/internship. This will include exploring what a student has to offer to an employer, finetuning their visibility on social media, doing network research, writing professional application letters and CVs to attract the readers' attention, and discussing and practicing a placement- or job interview.
