Preparing for international mobility

[0.5 - 2 days]

PhD candidates and holders, whose professional activities are inherently international, are strongly encouraged to engage in an experience abroad. This type of mobility, through the broad perspective it offers and the skills it fosters, represents a major opportunity to accelerate career advancement.

However, for this experience to be fully beneficial, it must be carefully planned, considering personal, professional, and intercultural aspects. It is essential to align the mobility experience with one's professional goals while taking into account the specificities of the target country's job market and its practices.

This workshop provides the keys to building and succeeding in an international mobility project, tailored to individual personality, professional ambitions, and the realities of the chosen country. It also helps develop an effective international job search strategy and prepares participants for all stages of the process, including the return phase.
