Career counselling
Career planning is a long-term and goal-oriented activity that carries you towards your career aspirations and objectives. Steps along the career path during studies can be, for example, finding suitable internships, looking for a summer job or finding a job after graduation.
When planning your own career path, it is important to consider your own goals and aspirations for your future career and to develop your own job search and working life skills.
