Uni KS: Further education programs

Women* are still largely underrepresented in the academic system. The percentage of women* along the academic career stages is still decreasing. In order to counteract this phenomenon of the “leaky pipeline”, gender equality-oriented career development programmes are offered to female* academics in the qualification phase in order to prevent the structural disadvantages of women* in academia. The equality-oriented graduate support programme focuses on the individual life situations and diverse starting points of academics in the qualification phase at the University of Kassel in order to recognise and support them in their diversity and with their individual needs.

Being a mid-level manager means bearing a great deal of professional responsibility as well as guiding, supporting and leading employees. In this way, mid-level managers have a significant influence on the working atmosphere and cooperation within an organisation. This results in a variety of challenging and diverse tasks for managers. The university would like to support its middle management level in science and administration in the fulfilment of these tasks and has set up a managers' seminar for the further development of leadership and management skills. In addition to providing professional input, the emphasis is on developing leadership skills and exchanging ideas with colleagues from other areas of the university.
