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
In the Interdisciplinary Teamwork Training you will learn about strategies and tools that promote positive team dynamics and effective collaboration. You will not only understand the theoretical background of successful collaboration in interdisciplinary teams, but also apply this knowledge directly to your own team practice in order to better understand it. You will also learn tools for managing communication in interdisciplinary teams in a way that makes use of different perspectives, clarifies irritations at an early stage and defuses conflicts. This helps to improve motivation, quality of work and satisfaction of team members.
Objectives
- Understand the importance of interdisciplinary teamwork and recognise the benefits for projects and innovation.
- Become familiar with strategies and tools to promote positive team dynamics and cooperation and adapt them to their own practice.
- Understand the theoretical background for successful collaboration in interdisciplinary teams and apply it to their own practice.
- Get to know and apply effective tools for goal-oriented communication management in interdisciplinary teams.
Methodology
During the training, participants develop skills that can be applied directly in their own practice. In addition to theoretical input, experience-oriented methods, peer-to-peer exchange, phases of intensive self-reflection and practical exercises, the transfer to your personal everyday working life plays a special role. Surprises, aha-moments and a good atmosphere are to be expected.
