The program of Empower Your Future: Discovering Strengths and Building Your Brand was designed to empower Erasmus+ students by helping them identify and articulate the unique skills gained during their mobility experiences, enhancing their employability and personal branding. Initially planned as a single event, it was divided into three distinct workshops—Personal Branding, LinkedIn and Diplomacy workshops to provide a more tailored and impactful experience. Overall the workshops aim to enhance participants' self-awareness by helping them identify key skills developed during their Erasmus+ experience and understand how these skills contribute to career success was achieved.
Each workshop engaged participants through interactive activities and practical exercises as well as opportunity to meet top representatives of aforementioned fields. This approach allowed students to better recognize their strengths and learn how to build strategies to present themselves, confidently present their competencies to employers, and optimize their personal brands, including professional online profiles. In total we managed to invite around 100 students and 3 different speakers, we managed to distribute snacks and drinks during the event, get gifts from the speakers and gift some as well to the speakers as to valued guests. First event happened 17.10 it was workshop about Personal Branding with Olesija. We managed to invite around 40 people we had a hybrid mode of the event. Olesija managed to distribute her book and organise a valuable real time life example communicating directly with the audience. We have managed to cover the most important things of online presence, play kahoot, answer and ask questions, get gifts and receive an electronic version of the textbook as well as we had a nicely organised feedback file Olesija prepared and sent to us after the workshop. After the official session people could communicate with each other and network. Second event was named after LinkedIn and was nicely held by Indrek. On 22.11. Indrek provided an offline workshop describing different strategies of managing a LinkedIn page as well as providing a real-time profiles adjustment opportunity, so student who attended could integrate the knowledge under the mentorship of the speaker.
