Recap 14.+15.11. Deutscher Workshop: Deine Heldenreise – Entdecke deine Stärken & Fähigkeiten für den Beruf | Ein kreativer Workshop

Dieser Workshop wurde vom Career Service organisiert.

In diesem zweitägigen kreativen Workshop setzten sich die Teilnehmenden intensiv mit ihren persönlichen Stärken, Fähigkeiten und beruflichen Perspektiven auseinander.

Der Workshop bot:

  • Erkenntnisse über persönliche Stärken und Fähigkeiten

  • Verständnis für wichtige Future Skills

  • Orientierung durch verschiedene Berufsprofile

  • Konkrete nächste Schritte für die eigene berufliche Entwicklung

Die Teilnahme wird mit 3 Punkten im Employability Pass (Kategorie: Soft Skills & Employability) angerechnet.
