Not every student knows what they want to be after college. Many people try things out, orient themselves in one direction and then in another, but they don't really find the right thing: What about media? What about people? What about technology? What in science? The possibilities are so diverse and some people have the feeling that they can't really understand what's waiting for them out there in the job jungle. So he tries, keeps trying and keeps trying without really having a brilliant idea for life after university. What can help in such a situation is career coaching.
Anyone who googles the term “career coaching” will see that it is not because of the offer, but for some students it could be a lack of financial resources. Professional coaching can quickly reach the mid-three-digit range financially and is therefore not something you just do. An alternative could be to visit the akademika augsburg 2014 on November 18th and 19th. At the trade fair, several appointments with professional coaches will be raffled off among visitors, which will then take place directly at the trade fair. Anyone interested can therefore only register on site so that the winners can actually take part in the coaching and it does not expire.
“The coaching sessions are particularly interesting for people who have already taken a detour in their professional career or who don't know exactly what they want to be when they grow up. The coaches look specifically at where the individual is headed and the participants often come out of the coaching with completely new ideas,” emphasizes Sabine Richter, press spokeswoman for akademika. But even if you already know exactly where you want to go, you shouldn't miss the akademika . The trade fair is interesting for all disciplines and the range of exhibiting companies is large, but the focus is on the disciplines of information technology, engineering and economics. Thanks to the akademika highlighted color coding system, which was introduced this year, students from individual disciplines and the companies that are interested in them can find each other more quickly. For example, companies that are looking for natural scientists will put up a yellow poster, companies that are looking for humanities scientists will put up a purple poster, companies that are looking for computer scientists will put up an orange poster, etc. at their stand.
Of course, application document checks, application photos, online reputation checks and panel discussions with question-and-answer sessions will also take place as part of the trade fair. The questions for this can be asked directly by the participants of the trade fair; these will be drawn directly at the trade fair, just like the participants in the coaching sessions.
If you don't happen to be in Augsburg on November 18th and 19th, but would still like to go to akademika , you should check whether there is a shuttle from your university to Augsburg. Free shuttle buses back and forth to the akademika will be available to students and graduates from a total of 40 universities in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Thuringia and Austria. Entry to the exhibition grounds is also free for visitors.
