In the morning, participants have the opportunity to reflect on their learnings and take-aways, and exchange with one another.
In the afternoon, participants share their learnings with representatives of the CONNECT steering committee, project partners, and other insterested parties. In addition, there will be two inspirational talks by our sponsors Bain & Company and Straumann Group about opportunities in consulting and the medical device sector.
You will be able to network with peers facing the same career-related questions, with role models working in industry, the public sector, universities of applied sciences or startups, and alumnae of the CONNECT program. Take the opportunity to become part of a supportive network where you can ask all those questions you would not dare ask elsewhere, and encourage one another.
Are you curious to explore your options outside of academia and discuss with role models who have made the transition to industry, public administration, a university of applied sciences or a startup? Knowing what options you have, how to get a specific position, and taking a conscious decision on your next step is a plus for your career - independently of where you pursue your career.
Would you like to transition to a non-academic career, but it seems like a different world to you? Are you unsure what job titles to look for, how to communicate your skills in the application documents or during the interview, or would you like to know what happens to your application at the company? Join the CONNECT program to find out and feel more confident about future applications.
CONNECT does not guarantee participants a job offer from participating companies. However, you have the opportunity to interact with HR representatives, and depending on a company's partner status, we will forward job advertisements and events, or participant CVs if participants agree.
While we do provide insights into the interview process, CONNECT is not a training for job interviews or assessment centers. Our main advice for any interaction with a potential employer is that you are authentic, stay positive and show your ability and willingness to learn.
We trust that participants, once they have the necessary information and contacts, can take their own decisions regarding their professional future. We are happy to support, point towards relevant contacts or information, and help you reflect, but the decisions are up to the participants.
