The goal of the final conference was to review the implementation of the EVENT project since it was officially launched in January 2017 and ended in April 2020. With nearly 1 million euros supported by the Eramus+ program, HUTECH together with other university members of the project has promoted many activities in enabling practical solutions to the employability problems facing students and recent graduates.

Specifically, HUTECH and other member universities have conducted activities and delivered concrete results in several work packages within the scope of the EVENT project. Among these, the project members carried out surveys on the employment status of recent graduates from their respective institutions. The results can be found in the Tracer Study and related reports. With the funding from Erasmus+, member universities also purchased equipment for their newly established Career Center aiming to promote the training and development of soft skills for students. Particularly, the launching of the Career and Employment Support Portalwill serve as a trusted destination helping students in their job search.
