Making professional use of the social network for business purposes is a key competence nowadays. The social media now play an indispensable role in communication and the interactive exchange of information.

Assessments are an increasingly popular method which companies use during the selection process to find the right candidates for their vacancy.

At the Fit for Assessment Center (AC) workshop, we share with you invaluable information on how individual assessments are designed, what they entail and what the objectives are. You will find out which tasks you will usually be asked to complete, what assessors are particularly looking for and how you can prepare for these challenges.

At the same time, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by undertaking a practical exercise and will be given feedback and pointers on how to make the best possible impression at the AC.

The workshop is a mix of theory, individual work and interactive sessions, all of which ensure participants engage fully with the subject. At your next AC, your confidence and expertise will be very apparent, increasing your chances of success.
