Welcome to ?upb+ Engagement. Kompetenz. Beruf.“ (Engagement. Competency. Job)
The certificate of Paderborn University for an improved preparation for the job
!!! Currently, unfortunately, we are unable to issue certificates or make changes to existing offerings. This measure is necessary as we are actively assessing the optimal placement for the future management of the UPB+ Certificate. We are committed to making an informed decision to ensure effective and sustainable support.
Once this clarification is complete and the future point of contact for the certificate has been determined, we will provide feedback to all those who have inquired about the further proceedings.
With all the attractive and numerous offers for profile building as well as advanced training/continued education, it can be hard for students to keep track of everything. Aspirations to prepare as soon as possible for the job world are at an all-time high. Internships, job fairs and student jobs are often first opportunities to network for a later employment. But preparation can also be done differently: At Paderborn University you can accumulate experiences and skills while still studying, which are helpful not only for you, but also interesting for HR in an application process.
The upb+ certificate supports students through highlighting job relevant engagement alongside your studies. Successful participation in a workshop or a class can be listed within the certificate. Alternatively you can track your completed courses/sessions, through stamps on your certificate pass.
+++ In addition, online seminars of at least 120 minutes can be credited. You can find all other conditions of participation in our fact sheet.+++
