I'm finishing my degree, now what?

Finishing university and planning for the future can seem daunting. It's therefore essential to know the career options you're interested in and the tools that can help you understand and anticipate the best way to prepare for your professional exit.

On the way to or after graduating, self-analysis is essential in order to establish yourself as a trained person and a talent with established interests and ambitions.

Professional internships are often the perfect option for gaining your first job experience in your area of interest and entering the job market. As well as enabling the development of practical skills, internships facilitate the establishment of a network of contacts, which can be of great importance for the future professional.

Although strengthening skills in the training area (upskilling) or investing in acquiring new skills in a new professional area (reskilling) can be options for improving career opportunities, instinct drives the search for the first job.

At Universidade Lusófona, EVA - Estágio, Vida Ativa e Formação ao Longo da Vida (Internship, Active Life and Lifelong Learning) supports students and graduates in contacting institutions and companies for curricular, extracurricular and professional internships and in the process of entering the job market.

The TalentPortugal platform also provides a crucial service in this regard, helping companies to find the best talent and candidates, whether students or graduates, to find the best companies. The jobteaser portal is another tool that brings together a range of opportunities, from internships to first jobs.

Like these platforms, there are many others that seek to make it easier for companies to match their human resources needs with the skills of both students who are completing their studies and graduates of higher education institutions.

In order to make these platforms known, Universidade Lusófona offers the EVA service, which you can consult by clicking here or schedule a support session for clarifications, preparing a Curriculum Vitae or preparing for a job interview.
