LEARN BY DOING

Career Workshops for PhDs and Researchers

Live, small-group sessions where you practice the skills that actually get you hired. From translating your research into industry language to negotiating your salary, every workshop is built for PhD candidates and researchers transitioning to industry in Germany and Europe. Not lectures. Hands-on working sessions with real exercises, peer feedback, and role-play scenarios.

From a recent participant: "In the salary negotiation role-play, I panicked and accepted 50,000 euros. The band went up to 75,000. One sentence Aleena taught me would have changed that. I use it in every negotiation now."

How workshops work

Small groups

Maximum 6 to 12 participants per session. You are not an audience member. You are a participant with a name, a background, and specific challenges that get addressed.

Hands-on exercises

Every workshop includes exercises you complete during the session using your own PhD work. You leave with finished deliverables, not just notes.

Role-play scenarios

Practice under realistic pressure. Interview questions, salary negotiations, and recruiter conversations. The awkwardness happens here, not in your actual interview.

Peer feedback

Hear how your pitch lands from people in similar situations. Their feedback is often more impactful than coaching because it comes from someone who understands exactly where you are.
