Inclusion and Diversity in Career Guidance

UiB Ferd offers facilitation of career conversations by offering to move it to other premises when there is a desire or need for it. Conversations can also take place digitally via Zoom or Teams.

We can answer questions and exchange information via e-mail, but we advise against sending sensitive personal data unencrypted by e-mail.

There can be many different topics in a career conversation. As career counsellors, we do not have the competence and mandate to handle all cases. In a conversation where we acknowledge that we have professional limitations, we will nevertheless try to help by informing about other agencies and services that may be relevant.

We have started to collect information that may be useful for some ESR researchers to know when they are considering further career opportunities. Feel free to contact us at UiB Ferd if you have experience and knowledge that may be useful for others to know about.
