How to build your Career Strategy beyond academia (GAIN26 Digital)
Statistically, academia is the alternative career path: seven years after their PhD, only around 24% of doctorate holders in Germany work at a university, and only a few secure permanent positions. Most build careers in industry, the public sector, or nonprofits.
But how do you find the right fit beyond academia? And where do you start if you are unsure about your next step?
This workshop is for researchers exploring careers beyond academia, including those entering the German job market.
It combines insights into the German employment landscape with practical tools for career transitions. We cover how to build a strategy, position yourself, and increase visibility, using approaches such as informational interviews and LinkedIn research.
You will also gain perspectives from experts and employers on what matters in practice.
