These types of workshops are frequently held for regular students and those with a graduate profile from the institution.

A new cycle of training sessions was carried out by professionals from the Graduate Monitoring Office for students of the University of La Serena. On this occasion it was the Pedagogy major in Basic General Education, Ovalle, who participated with a total of 31 attendees, in addition to the active participation of the teachers present at the Limarí Campus.

On the other hand, the unit's psychologist, Maximiliano Jiménez, addressed the topic of time management, in addition to delving into definitions, signs and symptoms of stress.

In this regard, Jiménez highlighted that “this workshop seeks to provide necessary tools for stress management and promote a culture of self-care in the work environment. I would like to highlight that this is the third workshop that the Graduate Monitoring Office holds this year at the Limarí Campus. The first was job insertion, where they were taught how to prepare a CV and review everything that is the recruitment and selection process.”

The professional added that “subsequently, a workshop on teamwork and work under pressure and stress management was held. Given that the workshops are requested by the coordinators or directors of the courses or School, I would like to highlight the initiative of this campus and remember that we are at the disposal of all courses to carry out the workshops that we have available.”
