Equipping Kosovo’s Career Counselors for Success: A Training Program in Transversal Competencies

Investing in the future of Kosovo’s youth starts with empowering the individuals who guide them. At Theta, we believe that career counselors play a crucial role in equipping young people with the necessary skills to navigate the ever-evolving job market.

That’s why we launched a comprehensive training program specifically designed to develop essential transversal competencies in career counselors across Kosovo. These skills, including flexibility, communication, problem-solving, and career management, are crucial for success in both professional and personal settings.

The program delves into four key areas through a combination of theory and practice:

1. Identification of soft skills gaps: This module helps counselors identify areas where they can further develop their transversal skills.
2. Communication: Effective communication is fundamental for building trust with students and guiding them through career exploration.
3. Emotional Intelligence: Understanding and managing emotions, both your own and your students’, is crucial for creating a supportive and encouraging environment.
4. Teamwork: Collaboration with educators, parents, and other stakeholders is essential for creating a comprehensive support system for student career development.

Through interactive workshops, practical exercises, and collaborative discussions, participants gain valuable insights and practical tools they can directly implement in their counseling sessions. This not only enhances their counseling abilities but also fosters a sense of community among counselors across Kosovo, facilitating knowledge exchange and networking opportunities.

The ultimate goal of this program is to empower counselors to provide personalized and impactful guidance to Kosovar youth. By equipping them with the necessary skills, we hope to see a rise in student engagement with career counseling services and a positive impact on their future career paths.

This program marks just the beginning of our commitment to supporting high-quality career counseling services in Kosovo. We look forward to continued collaboration with educational institutions and stakeholders to ensure that every young person in Kosovo has access to the resources and guidance they need to thrive.
