Continue under the keyword ‘competences’ …

… where we left off in the last episode. This is the introduction to the first episode of the second season of our career:FRAGEN podcast. To kick things off, presenter Moritz Richter and Marcellus Menke, Head of the Career Service, talk about the topic of skills in a relaxed atmosphere.

How do competences differ from a strength? What role do they play in job advertisements and application processes? What are green and future skills all about? And what does my degree programme already give me for my future career? The new podcast episode deals with these and other questions, moving between the future requirements of the labour market and the possibilities of personal skills development, with a pinch of philosophy thrown in.
