Dual Career

Progress, Support & Community Day

Reflection, deeper insight, support, and connection

Are you a past participant of the Dual Career Program? We’d love to welcome you back!

We’re organizing a special follow-up day filled with reflection, practical support, and meaningful connections. The Dual Career Progress, Support & Community Day is designed for everyone who has taken part in our Dual Career workshops over the past few years. Whether you joined last year or more recently, this day is for you.

This day is designed to bring together past participants in an informal and inspiring setting. You’ll get the chance to:

Reconnect with fellow participants and expand your network
Hear from inspiring guest speakers
Take part in interactive break-out sessions to reflect and exchange tips
Ask questions and receive tailored support as you move forward

Whether you’re working, volunteering, actively job hunting, or still exploring your options, we’ll shape the day to fit a variety of experiences and goals.

“It was super helpful to have the chance to discuss with the other participants and the program leaders about what they are doing, gain insights into what works in the job search, and how to tailor an approach to finding a job in an international context.

I left the program feeling motivated and well-equipped to stand out in what can be a crowded job market.”
