AcademicFLOW
Your career opportunities as a researcher
As an academic, you find yourself in a constantly evolving world. You may have a temporary position, you want to grow professionally, or you are considering a career move. In that case, you probably have several questions about your opportunities within and outside academia. At AcademicFLOW, you are at the right place.
AcademicFLOW wants to help you fully use your potential, guide you in answering career-related questions, and give you access to an extensive network in business, educational institutions, and government.
Your next career step
Do you ever ask yourself:
- What else can I do with my knowledge, expertise, and profile, both within and outside academia?
- How do I clarify who I am, what I can do, and what I want for myself and on ‘the job market’?
- How do employers outside academia (business, education, government) value me and my expertise?
- Does the job market align with my profile?
- Do I know which knowledge and competencies I need in order to position myself well on the job market?
- How do I learn this, and how can I best prepare for my next step?
- What roles and functions are available to me on the job market, how do I find them, and how do I qualify for them?
These are important questions to consider when taking the next step in your career.
