By selecting training courses adapted to his research and career development projects, the doctoral student builds from the beginning of his thesis a progressive training plan throughout his doctoral career.
The training will enable him to acquire and develop key skills in scientific and professional fields, which will promote his career pursuit, access to the highest positions and make the difference when recruiting.
It is also an opportunity to build a portfolio of his activities and to meet and exchange between doctoral students outside the laboratory.

1. The right questions to ask

What skills will I need?

To support you in your reflection:

  • your thesis director, your doctoral school, the college of doctoral schools.
  • an online Doc Pro tool that references the skills sought by recruiters, it allows you to self-assess yourself and identify the skills that still need to be acquired and/or developed for your career pursuit

Which training for which skills?

  • an offer of transversal and disciplinary training courses, grouped around themes. To better identify the areas of competence consult the thematic focus

2. The transversal trainings

Transversal trainings should enable all doctoral students in all disciplines to acquire and develop skills that can be transferred to all professional fields. They are built around skills sought by recruiters and complementary to those developed during the research activity.

Since doctors are never recruited solely on the basis of their scientific expertise, this offer of transversal trainings has the following objectives:

  • to answer their needs during their doctorate
  • to enhance their skills
  • acquire an interdisciplinary approach to their research and environment
  • increase their knowledge of the socio-economic world and its environment
  • to support their career development regardless of their project
  • to develop their employability
  • to encourage the pursuit of a professional career in the academic or socio-economic world

Trainings in French or English is offered in person, in a workshop or online and is complemented by forums, conferences or meetings.

ADUM Training and Registration Program

The transversal trainings offer is evolving each year to remain as close as possible to the demand of doctoral students, the expectations of recruiters and take into account the skills referenced in the doctoral records of the National Directory of Professional Certifications.

An ad hoc committee composed of representatives of the socio-economic and academic world, doctoral students, doctoral schools deputies and actors in doctoral training meets every spring to study the assessment, improve and develop the offer.

They allow you to acquire and develop the skills necessary and specific to the research activity during and after your doctorate.
