Progress in your career as a woman
Act to support equality as a team manager
Together towards equality
Support for women’s careers and developing skills in equality among supervisory staff are some of the objectives in UNIL’s statement of intentions for 2017-2021.
In order to achieve these objectives, the Equal Opportunities Office is running a new series of training workshops in 2018 aimed at Administrative and Technical Personnel.
These workshops offer the women of the PAT the opportunity to take stock of their professional situation and to develop their skills in order to progress in their careers. In 2021, the offer consists of a basic workshop with coaching and several short workshops on a specific theme. These workshops, which are given only in French, can be taken independently of each other.
This workshop offers the opportunity to take stock of one's career path and skills, to define one's professional objectives and to develop an action plan to overcome obstacles and achieve one's goals. Through a variety of professional situations, it explores ways to best serve one's career goals, build credibility, command respect and negotiate with greater ease.
This workshop is highly participative, with individual and group exercises and exchanges of experience. It is structured over four half-days and includes practical exercises in one's own professional context and a free individual coaching session with the trainer.
