These discussions proved to be very useful for the further development of the project and reaching the project targets. Exchanging various ideas helped to cover all the areas of the project to ensure nothing has been left out. The project partners also appreciated the contribution of Out of the Box International as a new member to the team. Overall, these two Transnational meeting days went smoothly in a very friendly, co-operative and pleasant atmosphere and once again manifested the significance and irreplaceability of interpersonal meetings.
This Thursday, on 12 October 2017, the Technical University will host the third multiplier event within the TALENTED EUROPE project. It will be a meeting point for all three sides involved in the project:
COMPANIES. With this project, they can find the talented work force they are looking for.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, whose first aim is to ensure employability of their under/graduates at the highest possible level.
STUDENTS. All of them want to find a good and suitable job.
There will be around 60-70 participants from all of the above-mentioned categories. Upon registration, all participants will receive promotional products which we are preparing right now, as you can see in the photo 🙂

We are looking forward to seeing you all in Košice!
Members of the project partner from Technical University of Košice are busy preparing the next get-together of all the Talented Europe project partners and supporters in Košice, Slovakia, in October 2017. The meeting will be aimed at promoting the project outcomes to students, companies, and educational institutions.
The 5th Transnational Meeting, where we will officially welcome our new partner, Belgian Out of the Box International, into our project team, will take place on Tuesday&Wednesday, 10–11 October 2017. It will be held on the academic campus of the University.
On Thursday 12 October 2017, the Technical University of Košice will host the third Multiplier Event. It will serve as a meeting place for companies, students, and educational institutions. With Talented Europe,
companies will be able to promote their business and attract talented work force,
students will have a chance to find a good job,
educational institutions will find a way how to enhance the future career of their undergraduates and graduates.
All of this can be done simply by using the Talented Europe platform. The speakers will give presentations and run workshops about various work-related and job-related issues such as human resources, obstacles in finding a good job, what (not) to do at a job interview and many other interesting topics. Our Spanish project coordinators from Tenerife will give a talk about the project platform. They will also present our newly-launched mobile phone app, its advantages and process of registration.
We are currently working on agenda drafts, Multiplier event outline and general management of the meeting in Slovakia. We will keep you updated with the details very soon 🙂
The term employability is used in different contexts and in different ways.
a set of achievements – skills, understandings and personal attributes – that make graduates more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations, which benefits themselves, the workforce, the community and the economy
Employability is not the same as gaining a graduate job, rather it is about the capacity to function successfully in a role and be able to move between occupations, thus remaining employable throughout their life. (more…)
