PREMIUM Workshop: Contract Negotiation Skills

Congratulations, you have landed the job! But now comes the part no one really teaches you: negotiating your contract.

For many graduates, the first job offer feels like a done deal, but in reality this is your moment to shape not just your salary, but your working conditions, your future development opportunities, and even your work-life balance. The way you handle this conversation can set the tone for your professional relationship with your new employer. So how do you approach it with confidence, professionalism, and the right knowledge?

In this workshop, you will gain the skills and insights you need to navigate your first (or next) contract negotiation successfully. Because there’s much more to a contract than just your monthly salary, and what you don’t know can cost you.
 

• Do you understand what is standard in your field and what is negotiable?
• Do you know how to respond if your offer is lower than expected?
• Are you aware of benefits beyond salary like pension, leave days, training budgets, or bonuses that can make a big difference?
• Have you thought about clauses that could limit your future opportunities, such as non-compete agreements or long notice periods?
