Researchers possess highly advanced technical and analytical tools that can open the door to stimulating and diverse careers, well beyond the boundaries of academia.
To seize these opportunities, it is essential to recognize the value of one’s professional background and build a career plan aligned with one’s values, interests, and goals. It is time to believe in your potential, enhance it, and turn it into a concrete impact in the world of work.

- building and strengthening your network of contacts;
- preparing for selection processes through interview simulations, tests, and insights on contracts, offer evaluation, and negotiation.

- Labor market and skills assessment
- Job search channels and job postings

«Coaching is a partnership-based process aimed at achieving goals defined together with a Coach. Coaches’ professional actions facilitate Coachees in improving professional and personal performances through the enhancement of their resources, personal capabilities and professional skills. These influence the strengthening of results and more generally of the Coachees' wellbeing. (UNI standard 11601)»
You can meet a professional to discuss your career goals and skills.
You can also work with a work psychologist who will help you focus on your growth path and boost your resources, guiding you toward achieving your goals.
The process also helps you develop greater self-awareness, enabling more autonomous decision-making and a stronger sense of responsibility, ultimately supporting personal fulfillment.
The programme consists of four individual meetings, each lasting approximately one hour, at the CAREER HUB – Corso Castelfidardo 42/A.
