Assessing the labour market is not an easy thing to do. Finding the \u201cright\u201d job is a challenge and is an investment in time and energy. A clear roadmap will help to focus research about job positions and not to get lost in the many interesting opportunities offered by employers.<\/p>\n

In this workshop, participants worked on their road map to a job in industry. The concept was based on intensive working units and coaching sessions to support participants in developing strategies for searching for the right jobs. Understanding the aim of application documents and combining the \u201cright\u201d information in those documents was one key aspect of the workshop. Understanding the mechanisms of personnel recruitment and the employer\u2019s perspective was another important aspect to better meet employers’ needs. Providing hands-on methods and practical exercises directly on the participants’ profiles helped to initiate the first steps on their job road map.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
