Employee development

Academia

The Viadrina supports academic staff in their personal professional development and offers a wide range of further training opportunities. The qualifications expected of academic staff in an academic environment have similarities with the requirements for highly qualified specialists and managers in other areas such as business. Personnel development thus increases the chances of long-term employment in academia, but also creates future career opportunities outside the university.

Administration services

Efficient support for research and teaching as well as increasing demands on modern and efficient administration services require targeted employee development for all non-academic employees. Technical and administrative staff receive support throughout their entire professional career at the Viadrina, whether at the start of their training or during the transition to retirement. They benefit from specifically adapted personnel development measures and further training opportunities such as language courses and individual counselling. The Erasmus+ exchange programme also offers non-academic staff to spend time abroad.
