Networking for Quality Career Services: Cultivating Albania’s Career Counselors Community
The third Networking Event of Career Counselors facilitated by RisiAlbania, an SDC project implemented by Helvetas, brought together passionate career counselors under the motto Let's Get Connected, on June 19th!
The meeting served as a platform for interaction, exchange and synergy. Career Guidance counselors shared their triumphs and hurdles, fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration. Being a recently established service in Albania, continuous feedback from career guidance users, be it students, pupils or mid-career professionals remains crucial for quality service.
To this purpose, Risi in collaboration with Albania Career Development Association have supported University of Tirana, Universiteti Politeknik i Tiranës, Universiteti Bujqësor i Tiranës, Aleksandër Moisiu University of Durrës and the Career Guidance Office at Municipality of Tirana to conduct a Satisfaction Survey among Career Guidance users. Insights from survey users in universities and the Municipality of Tirana were unveiled and we encourage these institutions to use this first hands evidences in shaping future strategies.
The second part of the day was dedicated to promotion of the career guidance services among young people and parents in Albania. Risi is launching a campaign to enhance understanding and promote CG adoption in Albania. Feedback received from practitioners during the networking meeting will fine-tune the campaign for maximum impact.
