“The new offer allows employees to benefit even more from the networking of their universities in the YUFE Alliance,” says Jennifer Robbert, who coordinates offers for employees within the YUFE “Staff Journey” work package. The idea is an obvious one, as many topics from continuing education affect university staff throughout Europe. So why not bundle the offers and invite members of other universities to join in?
At https://www.yufe.eu/staff/staff-development-courses/ you can find more information on the 11 courses on offer in the coming academic year. Most of them will take place digitally and, with a few exceptions, are free of charge. The time required varies depending on the course. Some are limited to one morning, others last several days or take place weekly over a period of several months. The areas of focus of the courses are just as diverse as the timeframe. For example, they cover communication, block chain management, AI in the workplace, and scientific writing. Employees can register via the YUFE Virtual Campus. At the University of Bremen, continuing education can be attended during working hours in consultation with supervisors.
