“Your Future profession” is starting strong with career counseling
The future depends on what we do in the present, and we’re excited to see these young people take the next steps toward their career goals!
Following the kick-off event, participants from Latvia and Sweden began their first week of individual sessions with career counselors.
These sessions focus on identifying each person’s strengths, setting clear goals, and highlighting skills needed for success in any industry.
Career counselors shared:
“They’ve been identifying the things young people are good at and discussing essential skills that are transferable across fields. Through these discussions, participants are gaining valuable insights into what it takes to thrive in their chosen paths.”
“They’ve spent this week getting to know the young people and setting up effective ways of working together. Counselors shared how inspiring it is to see participants analyzing their strengths, clarifying career ideas, and recognizing the role self-awareness plays in shaping their futures.”
“Together, they’ve explored essential questions like what each person hopes to achieve, what strengths and skills will help them along the way, and whether they see themselves as future employees or entrepreneurs. These discussions are an essential first step, helping participants make the most of the opportunities ahead and guiding them as they set goals for growth.”
Participant reflected:
“I was pleased with the positive atmosphere and the openness to share my thoughts. The session helped me see that I need to focus on what I enjoy and am good at, while being realistic and taking advantage of new opportunities to explore. It reminded me that you can combine passion with purpose, build a business around what you love and inspire others. Looking forward to the next session!”
