Within the framework of the Jean Monnet module “EU Experiences for Enhancing Youth Employability through Professional Skills Development”, funded by the Erasmus+ program (ERASMUS – JMO -2021-MODULE -SKILLS4JOB-101047867), a series of workshops and seminars “Laboratory of ideas” – 5 events (10 hours) were held.
The events were held by the Ph.D., Associate Professor, of Accounting and Taxation Department Serpeninova Yuliia, during April – May 2024.
The purpose of these events was to raise students’ awareness of the necessary competencies to obtain additional employment opportunities in the EU market or in companies that adhere to EU standards and value systems.
During the events, Associate Professor Yulia Serpeninova discussed the following topics:
– Trends and tendencies in the development of professional skills of employees to enhance their competitiveness in the European labor market;
– Europass tools to support application processes;

The events also stimulated the exchange of experience and cooperation between students and experts from different fields, which contributed to the expansion of their professional networking environment.
