Career Training Workshops
What is it?
Included in the “Técnico Career Development” program, Técnico offers its 2nd and 3rd cycle students and 1st cycle finalists training sessions for career development.
The training sessions will be taught by professionals from companies with recognized experience in the recruitment and selection processes.
Why?
The Técnico Career Training Workshops aim to enhance Técnico students’ value in the recruitment process and to prepare you by building the tools and profile that will enable you to succeed in applying for your dream job or in the job interviews you will undertake.
Overview
In November and December, the Técnico Career Center is running a new cycle of Career Training Workshops, in collaboration with Mercer and with support from Fundação Santander. Workshops by Kearney and McKinsey are also back as part of Técnico’s Partner Network, targeting crucial skills from recruitment through to the start of your career.
These workshops aim to strengthen Técnico students’ value in the recruitment process and help you build the tools and profile needed to succeed, whether that means landing your dream job or performing strongly in upcoming interviews. With the support of Fundação Santander, sessions are delivered by professionals with recognized experience in recruitment and selection. Each training module lasts approximately 2 hours and involves a small group of about 15 students. You will work on building your CV, writing an effective cover letter, improving your LinkedIn profile, and exploring how to develop an international career.
