Co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) with a total value exceeding 318,000 euros, the project focuses on improving professional internships and student employability by connecting students with employers and alumni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project plans for 245 professional internships featuring dual mentorship, as well as 33 evaluations aimed at improving study programmes. Students will participate in 24 career counseling activities &#8211; including workshops, a Job Fair, speed-dating networking sessions, forums, and individual counseling &#8211; and 8 alumni events, such as Alumni Days, thematic forums, and a mentorship programme. The Faculty of Engineering (RITEH) will develop a digital platform for managing professional internships and career development, as well as carry out training for mentors and guest lectures by industry experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main objective of the project is to increase the employability of RITEH students through higher-quality and digitized professional internships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wish the project team, led by Project Leader Prof. Zoran Jurkovi\u0107, success with the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
