Target group: PhD students in their third year


Learning objectives:
• To plan the final stage of the PhD project
• To learn methods to keep motivation up and procrastination down
• To implement Business Model You® to envision the next career step
• To understand the importance of networking


Content:
In this training, PhD students will learn methods to plan the final stage of their
research project. These emphasize keeping motivation up, dealing with potential
conflicts, focussing on the right priorities, and avoiding procrastination.

They will learn to use the Business Model You® approach. This model helps each
person to clarify their interests, skills, own values, and abilities. They then can
assess their value to potential employers. With this model in hand, they can plan
their next career steps.

One of the most important factors to find the next job in science is networking.
Part of the training will deal with this topic on different levels. The PhD students
will assess their current network. They will work on strategies to expand their
network. And they will be part of a group of peer students who they can rely on
and network with.

At the end of the training, they will have a detailed working plan for achieving
the last milestones in their PhD project, and a clearer vision of the next career
step.
