WHAT IS CareerCon?
CareerCon is the European Convention of Career Centres that was launched in 2009 as result of EUE-Net project. Representatives of Career Services from all over the world come together to present their Centres' best practices in cooperation with the Enterprises and Universities, Career mediation tools, employment statistics, as well as to discuss the future development of cooperation between Universities and Enterprises. Well-established career services and newcomers will find the needed platform for networking and exchange of ideas.
We are pleased to inform you that the 8th EUEnet conference and 3rd CareerCon 2012 will take place from the 3rd to the 5th of May 2012 in Lisbon, Portugal. We are ready to receive your booking online
You can book the conference as well as the Hotel "Villa Rica VIP Executive" directly on the CareerCon website. EUEnet and CareerCon contribute to reach the objectives of Europe 2020. Concretely, the Union has set five ambitious objectives - on employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate/energy - to be reached by 2020. Career Centres can give major input to answer the most important questions regarding the modernisation of higher education.
