The Erasmus+ project "Career Pathways" has been actively engaging communities across Portugal, Greece and Spain through a series of community events aimed at promoting vocational training, employment opportunities, and career guidance. These events brought together professionals from various sectors including education, and employment services to explore and discuss the advancements of the "My Career Pathways Web Portal".
The interactions focused on the potential uses and improvements of digital tools designed to navigate the labor market, enhancing skills identification, and providing actionable insights for career development. Participants, including vocational training teachers, employment agency staff, and sector experts, offered valuable feedback and expressed interest in integrating these tools into their practices, highlighting the project's impact on community engagement and professional development.
