Broadening Horizons

Length of Programme: 12 hours (2 x 6 hours)

About the workshop:

`Broadening Horizons' is an interactive and intensive two-day programme that provides research staff with the opportunity, skills and tools to help them proactively engage in their own career development. The programme enables research staff to gain a clearer self-orientation of where they are within their career and to consider what their next steps might be, whether their aspirations are to remain in research and/or academia or to move into other areas.

The programme enables participants to:

gain a sense of direction and progression
widen their understanding of career
better understand their own career situation
develop tools and techniques to explore their skills, motivations, values and talents and how these can be applied to their career planning
consider potential jobs they might like to explore further
consider what makes an effective CV
commit to an action plan for their personal and career development.

Participants:

The programme is aimed at research staff, but others might also benefit from it.
