The goal of the workshop was to empower participants to identify and articulate the competencies gained during their Erasmus+ mobility and ESN experiences, thereby enhancing their career prospects. The activity sought to ensure that the skills gained through mobility programs are recognized and leveraged to create tangible career benefits for participants, aligning with the broader objectives of the Erasmus Careers project.
ESN Austria’s initiative, conducted during its National Assembly (NA), was designed to enhance the employability of students and trainees by helping them recognize and communicate the competencies gained through their Erasmus+ mobility experiences. The centerpiece of the initiative was an interactive workshop that empowered participants to identify their unique skills and present them effectively to potential employers.
During the activity, the participants explored and identified a variety of skills and unique experiences that individuals develop not only during their mobility programs but also through their volunteering work with ESN.
The facilitators then introduced the participants to the findings of the Erasmus Careers project, sharing insights from their research. They provided an overview of what companies are looking for in potential employees and connected these sought-after competencies to the experiences gained during mobility programs. This allowed the participants to better understand how the skills people acquire through mobility and volunteering align with professional expectations and make us more competitive in the job market.
To extend the initiative’s impact, ESN Austria’s Communication Team committed to creating informative posts on LinkedIn and Instagram after the event. These posts are highlighting the competencies gained during mobility and emphasized their relevance to employers, reaching a broader audience of students, alumni, and professionals.
