Online Workshop: ‘Looking for work in The Netherlands’ for International PhD students (TU Delft)
International PhD students looking for a job in the Netherlands often face questions around career development to prepare for their next career step, a step that is not necessarily taking place in the academic world. This one-day workshop aims to deliver insights into balancing your career values with your career goals. What job opportunities offer academia vs the profit sector in the Netherlands? What questions are raised during a job interview? What makes a Dutch employer tick? And what makes an international PhD candidate outstanding?
Despite this hectic and uncertain times, the Graduate School has chosen to continue with the workshop, to stay connected, stay positive and to prepare for the future.

EAIE Community Moments webcast: Congratulations, graduates! What next?
2021-06-18 11:00 - 11:30
On June 18th, join the EAIE “Community Moments” webcast about the next steps for recent graduates after finishing their academic education.
As summer approaches, graduating students are beginning to celebrate their accomplishments and move toward the labour market. Finding a job or an internship is complex enough in a normal year, but how are the dynamics of a persistent global pandemic affecting employability outlooks today? How are international educators adapting to the pandemic-imposed challenges of readying students for the world of work? How are careers specialists helping students to articulate the value of their largely online international learning over the last year? These timely topics, among others, are the focus of the next EAIE Community Moment, in conversation with Nannette Ripmeester, Director of Expertise in Labour Mobility. Join us for this event which is free for EAIE members and non-members.
