«The networking aspects both between the participants as well as between the role-models from the companies are excellent. Furthermore the general structure of first having a coaching session, then visiting the companies and finishing with all together is a nice and round concept.»

Are you curious to explore your options outside of academia and discuss with role models who have sucessfully transitioned to industry, public administration, universities of applied sciences or startups? Knowing what options you have, how to get a specific position, and making a conscious decision abut your next step is a plus for your career - no matter where you choose to go.
Would you like to transition to a non-academic career, but it seems like a different world to you? Unsure which job titles to search for, how to communicate your skills in application documents and interviews, or would you like to know what happens to your application once it reaches a company? Join the CONNECT program to gain clarity, build confidence and feel more prepared for your next career move.
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 may forward job advertisements, events, or participant profiles if they agree.
While CONNECT provides insights into the interview processes, it is not a training program for job interviews or assessment centers. Our main advice for any interaction with a potential employer is to be authentic, stay positive and show your ability and willingness to learn.
We trust that once participants have necessary information and contacts, they are fully capable of making their own decisions regarding their professional future. We are happy to support participants, guide towards relevant contacts or information, help them to reflect, but the final decisions are up to the participants.
