Following any leadership programme, it is beneficial to carve out time to reflect on personal career progress and ambitions and the impact of the programme on personal and career development aims. The Career Development workshop will support delegates in building a focus on their own career progression, building on the benefits gained from participation in the Aurora for both the individual and their institution.
In this interactive session, you will work through a series of exercises designed to encourage reflection on yourself, your skills, your career aspirations, and the responsibility to manage your career development ongoing. The content has at its heart the lens of career development for women in HE and discussion specific to this topic is built into the session throughout.
This module is delivered as one full-day online workshop or two half-day online workshops.
