Soft Skill Seminars

Train­ing skills: rheto­ric, presenta­tion tech­niques, mod­era­tion and con­flict man­age­ment are not only im­portant for a later ca­reer. With pro­fes­sional sup­port, our schol­arship hold­ers im­prove these skills as part of Soft Skill Semi­nars and short online work­shops.

Developing soft skills

By being accepted onto the Max Weber Program, our scholarship holders have already demonstrated that they are academically gifted and possess out­stan­ding intellectual abilities. During their studies and then moving into the world of work, it is crucial that they apply these abilities, bringing them to bear and developing them further still. To provide our scholarship holders with the best possible support in this regard, we collaborate with professional skills coaches to hold Soft Skill Seminars over three weekends each year at different locations across Bavaria. These ex­ten­ded semi­nars are com­ple­men­ted by short digi­tal work­shops on va­rying to­pics.

In all formats, students learn and hone skills that are important both for everyday student life and for launching their professional careers. These include presentation and facilitation techniques, project ma­na­ge­ment skills and application training; there are also workshops on topics such as creativity, time ma­na­ge­ment, per­sonal de­velop­ment and dealing with stress.

The evening programs over seminar weekends are left open for the scholarship holders to engage in wide-ranging discussions and partake in a variety of activities.
