CONTACT24 – Workshops

CONTACT2024 is already taking place tomorrow on April 17 at DKFZ communication center.

To help you prepare for the application process we will offer various workshops on career planning, career entry and the application process. In addition, two job fair preparation courses were offered on April 4 and April 10 2024.

All workshops take place in small groups in a relaxed atmosphere and are free of charge for all participants.

As we want to ensure efficient training, the number of participants is limited. Places will be allocated online in advance and only remaining places can be booked on the day of the job fair. As the courses are usually booked up very quickly, early registration is recommended. In order to offer all interested parties an opportunity, each person may register for a maximum of one workshop!

Update 15.04.: There are still places available in the workshops provided by HOXBioNTCordenPharma, MLP and Horbach. The workshops offered by Hesse/Schrader, DKFZ Career Service, ZS Associates, Lamm HR and Scitaris are already fully booked.

Update 16.04. 10 pm: Registration for workshops is now closed. If you didn't get a place, please visit our "Workshop Registration" desk at Contact24. There are still a few places available.
