Career Orientation and Skills Training for Postdocs
Why was COAST formed?
Statistics show that about 80 % of all postdocs have to find employment outside of academia. The Helmholtz Association and DESY recognize that more support is needed for postdocs in finding suitable employment opportunities.
What does COAST offer?
In collaboration with the PI’s, COAST offers resources, training and counseling in order to prepare for the next career steps, including:
- a welcome chat for new postdocs
- one-on-one career counseling
- workshops on specific topics (networking, CV writing, presentation skills, transferable skills, etc.)
- networking events
- meet-a-role-model events with former DESY postdocs
