“The YUFE staff development programme was a benefit for me in every respect”
Wiltrud Hoffmann from the University of Bremen, for example, took part in a six-month staff development programme.
This year, for six months, I had the opportunity to participate in the first “Career Development Programme for Professional Service Staff.” The English-speaking programme was aimed at staff members of all YUFE universities who deal with the topic of personnel selection and recruitment. The 15 participants came from Poland, Croatia, Cyprus, Italy, Belgium, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, and Germany. There were five online modules and two face-to-face weeks – one in Brussels and another one in Rijeka/Croatia. Each module had a thematic focus that addressed a specific area of the university administration sector. The focus ranged from recruitment, selection, and maintenance of staff to specific challenges and developments in the labour market.

Further information:
The YUFE training programme “Career Development Programme for Professional Service Staff” was a pilot programme to create initial links between non-academic staff of YUFE universities. It is currently being further developed. However, we also offer other opportunities for university staff. They can be found on the YUFE page of all partners in the so-called YUFE Staff Portal under Staff Development Offer.
