Acknowledging the need for new skills development in preparation of the job market and in view of the ongoing pandemic, Global Shapers Nicosia Hub joins forces with the Cyprus Youth Board (ONEK), the Career Guidance Service, the European Parliament’s Office in Nicosia, and the European Commission Representation in Cyprus, organising a series of interactive webinars entitled “Re-invent yourself for the job market during a crisis”.

The trainers featured in these webinars include both experienced professionals in professional guidance, who focus and deepen the analysis on various topics related to the job search process, as well as representatives of various specialised professional fields, who will share their experiences by sharing useful tips with the participants, for their successful admission and advancement in their respective field.

The seminars are held in English and are offered completely free of charge through the Zoom platform while some will be broadcast live and others will require pre-registration.

The fourth installment titled “Are you interested in applying for an internship or having a career at the European Institutions? Find out how step by step” will be held on Friday, 5th March, 2021, with Mr Nikolaos Isaris, Deputy Head of the European Commission Representation in Cyprus and Head of Communication.

In this workshop, Mr Isaris will discuss the different career opportunities people may have access to, including traineeships, internships, as well as some information on the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) exam.

The seminar program is supported by the non-governmental, non-profit organisation Oxygono.
