Do you work in academia? Or do you have a PhD and want to work in the private sector afterwards? Then you may have experienced that the leap from academia to the private sector can sometimes be a difficult step.

In this conversation group, we will talk in a group of people in the same situation and people who have already made this transition. You will have the opportunity to discuss your obstacles and think about possible solutions together. Together we know more! We're looking forward to get to know you!

Important!
Every time a participant doesn’t show up, we have an empty chair at our table. So don’t forget to cancel your registration on Eventbrite if you can’t make it, or contact us at annelies@co-searching.be. We only send tips and summaries to those who attend.

For whom?
This workshop is open to anyone exploring their work journey — whether you're unemployed, employed, a student, or currently on sick leave or disability — and who wants to learn and talk about job searching. You're welcome regardless of your age, sector, gender, education level, etc.
Please note: this workshop requires a sufficient understanding of English to participate in a group conversation.
Are you a coach, recruiter, or other professional active in the job market? Want to get to know us or collaborate? Get in touch with us!

About Co-Searching
Co-Searching is a non-profit organization that organizes free activities for (and by) job seekers. We exchange experiences, share tips and tricks, and offer direct feedback to one another. Co-Searching is a network of job seekers who want to support and inspire each other in the search for work.
Workshops and conversation groups are prepared and led by Co-Searching volunteers — people who are job seekers, employees, students, or on sick leave.

See you soon!
