Career Development Workshop

Dates of workshop: Thursday 14 Dec and Friday 15 Dec, 2006, Wednesday 28 Mar and Thursday 29 Mar, 2007

The aims of this two-day workshop are to help participants to take stock of where they are in their career, to consider their aspirations for the future, and to create a career development plan. It is aimed at academic and research staff, and people with management responsibilities.

The workshop will be structured around four key questions:

• Where have I been?
• Where am I now?
• Where do I want to get to?
• How will I get there?

This workshop is based on a series of practical exercises, and it is important that participants are willing to engage in a process of self reflection together with sharing of their thoughts in small groups. There will be the option for each participant to have a short follow-up conversation with a careers adviser to review how they are translating their plans into action.

Places are limited to a maximum of twelve.
