Studying with an Outlook: skills and sharpening your profile during your studies

What skills are required of me during my studies? What can I do at the start of my studies so that I can land my dream job later? This workshop is aimed particularly at students in their first semester who, on the one hand, would like to explore their own skills and, on the other hand, are looking towards their professional future. Reflecting on your own skills and sharpening your profile early in your studies are the first steps towards a successful career start.
