Dublin: Where Careers Meet Opportunity

EucA's Employability Study Visit, hosted in Dublin from 26 to 28 March, brought together selected university students from Fondazione Rui to enjoy a three-day international learning experience focused on career development, employability skills, and intercultural exchange.

Designed to prepare young people for the global labor market, the program offered direct exposure to leading multinational companies, including IBM - introduced by Andrew Marsh, Adam Byrne, Jasmina Gajcin, and Daniele Lotito - and Stripe - whose session was hosted by Alessandra Mazzocchi. 

A special highlight was the inspiring lecture “Dreaming big about your future: the virtue of courage” delivered by Marta Rocchi, lecturer at Dublin City University Business School, and hosted at Rathmore Residence. Her words motivated participants to reflect on confidence, decision-making, and personal growth in their career journeys.

The program included employability-focused training sessions led by EucA trainers and local professionals, covering key topics such as career readiness, digital skills, and personal branding. 

Participants also engaged in networking sessions with Dublin-based professionals and young talents, creating opportunities to exchange experiences, build connections, and explore future career possibilities.
