  While a job in academe remains often the most desired or most well-known career path for many early career researchers (and postdocs in particular), the available positions are scarce. Therefore, the vast majority of both PhD and postdoc profiles will, sooner or later, embark on a wide variety of so-called “non-academic” career paths. In fact, your career beyond academe can be whatever you would like it to be as long as you manage to identify and communicate your wide set of skills. How can you turn your postdoc into an ideal launchpad for both academic and non-academic career paths? It is crucial to reflect on the best fitting career path for your personal ambitions; the academic track may be right for some but certainly not for others who often find more fulfilling career paths in wider society. During this interactive workshop we will focus on how you can best prepare for both worlds. Based on our career development programme as used in the MSCA-Cofund IF@ULB, we will focus on a few key actions that will help you navigating your future career options. We will focus in particular on (a) career goal identification, (b) the power of the right network and (c) a continuous reflective attitude with regard to your own skills and career goals.

Europass is an initiative from the European Commission that aims to facilitate mobility for learning and working throughout Europe and beyond. For this aim a number of Europass tools (CV, Diploma Supplement and Europass Mobility document) have been developed to make your qualifications, competences, working and learning experiences more transparent to employers or educational institutions abroad. In this workshop we will show you how to use these Europass tools. In addition we will give you a pre-view of the new Europass platform that will be launched at the beginning of June 2020. This platform brings learning and job opportunities in Europe together in one place and matches these opportunities to your personal profile and interests.
