How to transfer your academic skills to the industry
Show your value - also beyond academia
What you can expect
You want to present yourself with confidence—whether you're networking, writing a motivation letter, or interviewing for a job outside academia. But how do you translate your academic experience into language that resonates with a broader audience?
In this workshop, you’ll identify your five key competences and learn how to describe them clearly, convincingly, and in context. You’ll practise presenting your strengths and receive constructive feedback to help you sharpen your message.
By the end, you’ll feel more confident in showing others what you bring to the table—both inside and outside the academic world.
Who is it for
This workshop is for UvA employees whose contract is ending (or has ended) and who are actively exploring new roles, within or beyond academia.
We work with small groups of 3 to 8 participants to ensure personal attention and useful peer feedback.
