Course objectives
The course is primarily aimed at strengthening students' competitiveness in the labour market through practical workshops with external experts. The course aims to provide students with the experience of networking and finding employment in both the private and public sectors. The participating lecturers are former graduates of international relations and European politics and other related fields and therefore are able to acquaint students with the main challenges and risks they will face after graduation at the Faculty of Social Studies. For this reason, the course is conceived as a series of practical workshops where lecturers first present their story and then discuss with students questions related to their careers.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students should gain experience in networking and job search in both the private and public sectors. This course will also lead to an increase in the competitiveness of students in the labor market.
