Planning your career with a digital learning platform, chatbot and mentoring
In this workshop series, which consists of three consecutive learning units, you have the opportunity to design your Personal Development Plan (PDP) in a compact form together with selected mentors in small learning teams in a self-organised manner.
The mentors have a lot of experience from the business world. They have either managed or founded a company in the past and/or have worked or are working as a manager. The mentors take their time, listen to you and give you helpful feedback. The mentors look forward to working with you on a basis of trust.
The workshop series centres on drawing up your personal development plan. It can help you to consciously focus on your future and shape your career in a targeted manner.
Four best practices are at the heart of the Career 4.0 learning concept:
- talent diagnostics to identify individual strengths,
- the employment radar, which can be used to analyse employment potential in the local environment,
- expert listening to bring talent and demand together and obtain expert feedback and
- the start-up workshop, in which entrepreneurial skills are specifically promoted and business ideas can be further developed.
The "Career 4.0" learning platform together with a virtual learning assistant "Botty" offers the opportunity to lay the foundation for the Personal Development Plan (PDP) and to professionalise it with the support of experienced mentors.
