Towards a career
At the end of their studies scholars find themselves at a crossroads: doing a doctorate or starting a professional career? What about a career in research? What is expecting future teachers? Where and how to gain insights into the professional world while still studying? The Studienstiftung takes up these issues and offers its scholars a number of events providing information:
A career in research
At the „Career in research" conference, experts in science funding and young researchers address the questions posed by scholars wanting to work as researchers: What academic establishments are available and what opportunities do they offer? What difficulties and drawbacks might arise from choosing this career path?
A career in business
The „Business Contact seminar" provide orientation in the application phase, offer contact to interesting companies and show how they work. During presentations, interviews, case studies and discussions, scholars look behind the scenes and get a feeling for what beginners ought to know.
A career in teaching
Once per year, the Studienstiftung organises the „Career in teaching" conference for scholars envisaging a career in the teaching profession. The conference is an ideal forum for exchange between scholars, school experts, alumni in the early stages of their teaching career as well as well-seasoned mid-careers. „Career in teaching" provides ample oppurtunity for discussion of tried and tested and innovative concepts thus allowing for deep insights in the working environment in schools.
Job exchange
So that scholars can get an impression of potential occupational fields at an early stage, the Studienstiftung offers assistance in finding suitable work placements. Scholars can apply for work placements at Helmholtz Association research establishments through the Studienstiftung directly. The Studienstiftung can provide contacts to companies offering suitable work placements. Scholars’ reports on their experience are also available; but application is made to the companies directly. On top of this, former scholars offer work placements, diploma dissertations and positions for doctoral candidates in the context of an Intranet forum.
