SkillUp – Personal Development for Young STEM Talents
With our STEM training program "SkillUp", we provide young scientists from the university partners of the InnovationCampus Future Mobility (ICM) with optimal qualifications for their current and future tasks.
In addition to the development of professional competencies, the interdisciplinary personal development process is a decisive career building block. We would like to promote this process with joint and various workshops within the program.
"SkillUp" is specifically tailored to the respective qualification phase: whether you are a young graduate, an aspiring doctoral student or a young postdoc - we have the launching pad for your individual journey to success as you pursue your career goals in STEM.
From the very beginning, we support you in strategically developing your personal skills and in networking and exchanging ideas with other young scientists.
One step ahead with interdisciplinary competencies
- All graduates and young scientists from institutions previously involved in the ICM are eligible to participate.
- The scientists may have already signed a doctoral agreement or be in the early phase as a postdoc (maximum two years after the doctorate).
- The workshops are free of charge for the scientists of the institutions participating in the ICM.
Course overview and assignment to the respective qualification phase
The training courses are conducted by the National Institute for Science Communication (NaWik) gGmbH as well as the Human Resources Development and Vocational Training (PEBA) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). In the following, you will find the workshops (language see workshop info).
Content
The "Fundamentals of Science Communication" provides scientists with an introduction to science communication with the public and the media. This basic course focuses on topics such as the dimensions of science communication, the interaction between actors and target groups, and dealing with the media.
The modules build on each other. The content is varied and includes animations, videos and quizzes. In the seminar, participants will learn how to optimize their presentations for the respective target group. They will learn how to prepare and present their content in a way that their audience will understand. Under the guidance of the instructor, they will learn what an effective presentation looks like through numerous practical exercises. Individual feedback through video analysis will prepare participants for future presentations.
