Shaping Futures Together: IVAIGO's Impact at SMK Career Day

On October 16, 2025, Association IVAIGO proudly participated in the Career Day at SMK College of Applied Sciences. The event, designed to connect students with career opportunities and international experiences, became a vibrant space for learning, inspiration, and future planning.

IVAIGO unites professionals from diverse fields to promote personal growth, skills development, and social inclusion, and this mission was clearly reflected at the Career Day. Students visiting the IVAIGO booth were eager to explore the organization's wide-ranging initiatives, from courses and training sessions to internships and EU-funded projects such as Erasmus+. What particularly drew attention was the chance for students not only to participate in international projects but also to actively contribute to making them happen, gaining invaluable practical experience along the way.

A key highlight of the event was the growing interest in IVAIGO's courses. Students discovered that these offerings are more than just traditional lessons—they represent opportunities to improve linguistic skills, explore innovative topics and initiate their own courses in collaboration with IVAIGO. For many, this hands-on approach was both empowering and motivating, reflecting IVAIGO's focus on active citizenship, digital literacy, education, and sustainability, with special attention to supporting marginalized groups.

Conversations at the booth revealed a genuine curiosity among students to explore international collaboration and personal development. Many attendees were excited by the prospect of combining learning with real-world impact, from participating in EU-funded projects to creating programs that address social inclusion and community engagement. The interactive nature of IVAIGO's presentations allowed students to see themselves as co-creators of knowledge and global citizens, rather than passive learners.

The SMK Career Day highlighted the importance of connecting students with opportunities that extend beyond the classroom. For IVAIGO, it was a chance to demonstrate how involvement in international projects, skill-building courses, and community-focused initiatives can open doors to professional growth, global networks, and meaningful experiences. By the end of the day, it was clear that IVAIGO had successfully inspired students to envision new paths for learning, leadership, and personal development.

Through events like these, Association IVAIGO continues its mission to empower young people, offering tools, knowledge, and opportunities that enable them to thrive locally and internationally. For students at SMK, IVAIGO was not just a booth at a career fair—it was a window into a world of possibilities, creativity, and growth.
