Job prospects for graduates (2010)

On 5 November 2010, the students of the Elite Graduate Program for East European Studies gathered in the Seidlvilla in Munich. In the workshop "Habe nun ach ..." they dealt with their own abilities and the requirements in the profession.

One focus was on professions of the private economy and the professional profile of consulting. The workshop was led by consultants from the world's leading top management consultancy, McKinsey & Company, Inc., who have a social or human science background.

The workshop focused on the following questions:

• How well are human scienticts prepared for the profession today?

• In which fields of work do scientists work in the economy - and in which areas are they particularly sought?

• What skills do employers now require from graduates - and how well are you personally prepared for these requirements?

• What is the concrete example of the occupational field of consulting?

Afterwards, the students had the opportunity to talk directly to the speakers at a small refreshment and discuss ways of getting into the profession.
