Workshop on Career Planning 3 for international clients 2015 The Campusmondi education counselling service is specialized in assisting students with the development of clear professional goals as well as the thorough planning and implementation of career & study choices. Using our many years of experience with such workshops, we enable participants to reflect on their own talents, strengths and career opportunities in an exciting and interactive learning environment. The two consultants also have extensive expertise in working with clients from international schools; therefore the seminars can be run either in German or English. The workshop coaches Matthias Trüper is the founder of the Campusmondi education counselling service. He has studied Education, History and Geography in Munich and Berlin. After teaching at the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin, Mr. Trüper founded the Berlin-Potsdam International School in 1991. He led the school as a principal until 1998 before he took an engagement for a company in the US. In 2000, Mr. Trüper founded Campusmondi as one of the first independent education counselling agencies in Germany. Since then, he has carried out approximately 1,500 successful consultations and has had a major impact on the private education counselling sector. In his more than 35 years of working history, he has built a large network of higher education professionals world wide, from which Campusmondi students can benefit today. Philipp Liedgens has studied History and Communications in Germany and the USA. After receiving his Master of Arts Degree in 2002, he became the CEO of Sport-Scholarships.com. Since then, he has established this company as the first agency in Germany to professionally assist aspiring student-athletes to receive athletic scholarships at high-level US universities. The company is still the market leader in this area of expertise and Mr. Liedgens has personally helped more than 1,000 students to gain admission and scholarships at a broad variety of US universities, including elite institutions such as Harvard, Princeton or UCLA. He has now been advising high school graduates and students, particularly regarding study opportunities in the US and Canada, for more than 12 years. In January 2015, Philipp Liedgens became the co-owner of the Campusmondi education counselling service and continues to build the company together with Matthias Trüper. Workshop on Career Planning 3 for international clients 2015 The starting point The method Every day, students are inundated with information about how they should choose among a variety of training options and career opportunities. These students and their parents often feel overwhelmed by the flood of information available and have the desire for some tangible indicators to help them to make good career choices. Study interests and career aspirations are influenced by the media, businesses, government agencies, schools, universities, classmates, and not least the family on a daily basis. However, this is usually not enough to make a qualified decision on a life-long career. This workshop will help the students to organize the available information, to address all uncertainties and to develop firm anchors that they can use to evaluate any new opportunities. It will help the participants to reflect on their own strengths & weaknesses, find out more about their interests & career expectations as well as offering guidance on possible internships, study & professional options. It is a challenge to spend a weekend with 10 or 11th grade students and keep their attention level high. Therefore, we use a multi-varied approach consisting of role plays, questionnaires, work on flipcharts, relaxation games and many other activities helping us to understand the complexity of the young personalities. In the past years, we have observed that this approach helps high school students to discover themselves in a different perspective and to unveil unknown talents. Keeping the students focused and encouraging to reflect on and realize the most significant aspects of their personalities, interests and talents, is of utmost importance to come up with career advice that really fits the students’ need at the end of the workshop. The framework In a group of not more than twelve participants, students are supported by our two coaches, Matthias Trüper and Philipp Liedgens. During our two-day seminar, participants will find out more information on relevant job skills as well as their own special aptitudes and preferences. This aim will be achieved through psychological testing, in-depth exercises and individual feedback sessions. An intense and guided reflection about their own interests, using a detailed analysis of strengths and weaknesses, will result in a final recommendation that will give the students helpful points of orientation and a better idea of suitable career opportunities.
