Description:
The Europe Direct Centre and the University of the Aosta Valley hosted, on 20 September 2013, in the
premises of the University, Strada Cappuccini 2A, Aosta, the “Career Day” workshop. The event, aimed at
high school and university students, as well as young graduates and regular citizens, consisted of a series of
round tables and debates with professionals that allowed the participants to acquire useful information and
tools to be used later in the job market.
Moreover, through Europe Direct, the event was an occasion for the promotion of European institutions,
policies and themes. The event, integrated into the framework of the Orientation and Tutoring project of the
139
University, co-financed by the European Social Fund, represented an appropriate window for the European
Week of Regions and Cities at a local level, and perfectly integrated its spirit and theme.
The “Career Day” also gave the University the chance to launch its own Alumni Association that will reunite
its graduates, offering them access to a range of university services.
The day ended with a performance by Italian singer Simone Cristicchi at the Cinema Théâtre de la Ville.
Conclusions:
The cooperation between the Europe Direct Centre and the University of the Aosta Valley is a step forward
in the organisation of initiatives aimed at the promotion of the European Union, its institutions and its
opportunities.
The event raised awareness among young students and graduates about their future studying and
professional careers, allowing them to assess their predispositions and their skills through a constructive
debate with the academic and professional world. Moreover, it disseminated very useful information on
current job opportunities, keeping everyone up to date.
Quote:
“The challenges that the European Union is faced with during this time of crisis have to be seen as
opportunities for growth and progress.”
