Soft Skills Training

An important part of the school is soft skills training. There will be two options for participants:

  • A day long course on presentation skills.
  • A morning information session on European grant applications.
  • An afternoon interview-skills training session.

Participants are asked to select which sessions they would like to attend when they register.



Presentation Skills

The presentation session will be a day long course covering presentation preparation, vocal power skills and physical presence. It will also include giving a short presentation which will be recorded. This will be given by Elena Kaufman of Creative Communications who has given the very successful presentations skills sessions at previous GATIS network training events.

  • The session will take place in the Loyd building room 1.20 from 9:30-17:30.
