Be prepared

Before you enter the employment market, it is a good idea to take stock of yourself. Only when you have an idea of your own skills, interests and values can you look for a role or an employer which suits you.

In our English-language workshops and courses, you will learn what your skills, interests and values are, and how you can use this knowledge in practice: how do you write a good CV and motivation letter? How should you act at a job interview? In order to give you the freedom to put together your own package of workshops, this semester we are offering various workshops as morning and afternoon sessions.
