European Year of Skills

Mária, Slovakia

After making some bad life decisions, I realised that I needed to discover who I am, my values and talents, which I hoped would guide me onto the right path. I signed up for a voluntary internship at my university’s career centre and completed a career counselling course. During the internship, I helped students to discover themselves through self-awareness activities and create their Europass CVs. Learning new skills has changed my life and helped me get my dream job as the Coordinator of the National Europass Centre at the Lifelong Learning Department. I encourage others to start a self-discovery journey that can help them gain a clearer sense of purpose and direction in life, and to learn new digital skills that can increase their chances of succeeding in the job market.
