PSI Career Center

From research to industry - joint event with CERN Alumni, Sept 10th, 2024

With more than 160 registered participants, this joint event with CERN Alumni Relations was a huge success. Participants were gratefuld to learn how to identify, structure and communicate their skills - many of which are taken for granted in academia - and listen to the career story of Elisa, a PSI & CERN alumna now working in finance. 

Measuring the impact of career services

The PSI Career Center has been asked to collaborate on an article on measuring the impact of career services. I feel very honored! A first glimpse on how the services can be evaluated, and how the data is used to make them even more useful to you is shown in the latest Career Mail. 

Summer break

The Career Center will be back on Aug 5^th. You can continue using our online resources, checking out the profiles of your partner companies, reading the blog, or reserving time for one of the upcoming events.

You can also sign up for the upcoming applications & interviews and career planning courses, or reserve your individual career counseling session. Please be fair to each other and book no more than one session.

37 female scientists have been selected to participate in Round 6 of the popular CONNECT program. Between Sept 2024 and Mar 2025, they will get to know various employers from the private and public sectors and hopefully get a bit closer to their dream job.
