Career Service
The ATHENA Career Service offers seminars, workshops, trainings, individual career advice, and coaching to help finding one’s way in the world of work. We support students in developing their individual career goals and matching their skills to the market’s needs. Subjects of our seminars and trainings are e.g., techniques to write a convincing CV, strategies for a successful job search, and practical training to be well prepared for the job interview. We also organise presentations with professionals from various industries to give students insights into different fields of work.
In November, we provide you with a month full of opportunities to kickstart your professional career. The ATHENA Career Days help you to find your individual way in the world of work. Learn about the job markets of the ATHENA cities’ regions in three online panel discussions and attend our virtual ATHENA Career Fair to get in touch with international companies from the fields of IT and engineering.
