Erasmus+ Alumni Employability Training for Career Officers
2021-03-25 09:00 - 12:45
While the job hunt for fresh graduates was rigorous before, the pandemic has made the transition from higher education to the labour market even more difficult. How will University career guidance support its students with this transition during the pandemic and in a post-pandemic world of work?
Together with our partner organisations (ESN, EUF, Leo-Net, EIIL, Umons, UAH, Muni, Universita degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata) Expertise in Labour Mobility (ELM) is participating in the ErasmusJobs project, funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
The ErasmusJobs project’s objective is to bridge the skill gap between higher education and the international labour market. Join us on March 24 & 25 for a two-day training, especially designed for career officers to help them guide students towards potential jobs.
Nannette Ripmeester, the founder of ELM and CareerProfessor, will be addressing one of the most common threats facing students in their move to the global labour market: translating their Erasmus exchange skills into stories that employers value. Going on, Erasmus will equip students with new skills that, in turn, will be beneficial to their professional development and their new employer.
But how do they translate their unique skill set into eye-catching CV entries and interesting job interview topics?
These training events will be carried out in a Train-the-Trainer fashion to create a multiplier effect among participants. The training will equip career officers with a new toolset to organise workshops at their institutions, to further guide colleagues in supporting students in their international job hunt.
