Training Workshops
UCL Careers Service provides weekly workshops through the year that equip you with the essential skills needed to successfully navigate the transition to your next position, and manage your career thereafter.
Training provided by the Careers Service:
UCL's Careers workshops run for two hours, and focus on a particular topic. Unless indicated, the workshops take place in the Careers Service Seminar Room and are delivered by either one of our specialist Careers Advisers for Research Staff. All our workshops take place in groups of 10 - 20 participants and involve audience participation and group activities.
All our workshops also contribute to your Staff Development training days requirement.
