00:00:02.360 --> 00:00:07.580
A university education furthers one’s development 
and provides a solid foundation for

00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:12.530
one’s future career. It opens up numerous
opportunities, but knowing what to do with them

00:00:12.530 --> 00:00:18.260
is often not an easy decision.
This is where the Careers Services helps students,

00:00:18.260 --> 00:00:24.800
doctoral candidates and graduates.
How does it work? Every year we organise 

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.470
over 100 seminars and workshops that focus on 
individual career orientation or provide

00:00:30.470 --> 00:00:35.660
training in cross-disciplinary skills.
In consultation sessions, our staff 

00:00:35.660 --> 00:00:40.490
helps students, for example,
develop their own profile of expertise,

00:00:41.090 --> 00:00:46.790
make decisions, or prepare for and
follow up internships. We also assist students who are

00:00:46.790 --> 00:00:52.580
interested in foreign work placements. Together with
potential employers, we organise business simulations

00:00:52.580 --> 00:00:56.990
and workshops where students can
apply the skills they’ve acquired in their studies 

00:00:56.990 --> 00:01:01.370
and expand their professional networks. 
We also operate an extensive info portal 

00:01:01.370 --> 00:01:06.710
and applicant platform where users can view 
the latest job ads and internship offers. 

00:01:06.710 --> 00:01:10.880
The Careers Service provides
instructors and faculties with ideas that enable

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:14.960
students to recognise the potential of 
their degree programmes and 

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:20.480
strengthen their motivation to excel at their studies.
In this way, students at the WWU

00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:25.430
are offered an interconnected programme of 
high-quality courses from their departments and 

00:01:25.430 --> 00:01:30.950
assistance with developing their career
perspectives from the Careers Service.

00:01:30.950 --> 00:01:36.620
In other words, personal development and 
career perspectives go hand in hand.
