Content

The Antwerp Doctoral School and the Talent Center combine their expertise in career development in order to teach you how to design a personal development plan. In doing so we aim to increase your self-awareness about your competences and stimulate reflection on your individual professional goals.

You will learn to do this in a SMART way, starting from a SWOT analysis and strengths assessment. At the end of the day you will go home with your own Personal Development Plan. The training is growth- and future-oriented and will focus on opportunities to develop yourself.

After completion of the training, participants will be able to:

  • ​Critically reflect on their career development and professional goals, starting during their PhD.​​​
  • ​Set professional goals.
  • Appoint their competences.
  • Develop a SWOT analysis.
  • Set development goals in a SMART way.
  • Reflect on the competence profile of the doctoral study programme and translate it to their own needs.
  • Elaborate a personal development plan.
