Employment Accelerator

The project is aimed at strengthening students’ employment prospects. During the project, students will gain practical knowledge and skills in job search, career planning, resilience building, and the ability to adapt successfully to labor market challenges.

Two student groups will participate. The first—30 active students—will plan and organize activities themselves: trainings, discussions, creative workshops, psychological exercises, and two public events titled “Employment Accelerator.” The second group—more than 150 students—will take part in these events, complete practical tasks, and test the tools developed. In total, at least 180 students will participate in the project.

Throughout the project, students will not only develop competencies needed for the labor market but also strengthen communication, collaboration, critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-reflection skills.

Provide students with essential job-search and employment knowledge and skills, develop their resilience to career challenges, ensure the delivery of this knowledge through engaging non-formal education methods, and strengthen students’ project implementation competencies.

Expected Results

• 180 students will acquire job-search and employment knowledge and skills. Attainment will be verified at the “Employment Accelerator” event through practical tasks using the developed tools.

• 30 students (first cohort) will strengthen teaching, mentoring, and project design/implementation skills by creating scenarios, tasks, tools, and leading events.

• An event script, tools, and tasks will be produced for reuse in other student events and activities, ensuring continuity.

• A project report and dissemination materials will be prepared and published.

Anticipated Benefits

• Students will develop general and specific competencies: project implementation, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, self-reflection, and emotional self-regulation.

• The project will encourage deeper analysis of the employment process and engagement with labor-market trends, supporting long-term career success.

• Dissemination will inform Klaipėda businesses and Lithuanian higher-education communities about opportunities funded by the State Studies Foundation.

• Developed tools will be publicly hosted (e.g., OneDrive) for future use by other student communities.
