Future Skills Pentathlon

VU Career Centre invites you to join Future Skills Pentathlon. It’s a unique training program based on experiential and reflective learning and focused on working on five competencies: cooperation, responsibility, interculturality, problem solving and openness to change.
This program will be carried out in cooperation with our partners: SEB, Western Union, Special Investigation Service of the Republic of Lithuania.

You will:

• Get to know better your and your teammate's personality type, identify which team roles you excel in, assess your collaborative skills and attitudes (e.g., open listening, giving feedback, being positive, etc.), and learn about the stages of team development.
• Assess your level of responsibility on personal, team and social level, understand what you can and should not take responsibility for, and find out whether you are proactive or reactive person.
• Evaluate your cultural awareness, explore two models of intercultural competence – intercultural sensitivity development and the culture map – to understand how to overcome stereotypes.
• Learn about the Ideal problem-solving model, through case study, identify the main problem and understand what usually prevents you from making effective decisions.
• By improvising, you‘ll see if you‘re open to change and surprises and have fun.

You‘ll enjoy the experience while connecting with students from diverse courses and specialties, expand your network and share insights in a secure environment, embracing diverse and enriching opinions.

The training program consists of 8 meetings - 7 workshops and one non-formal meeting - 2 consultations – one before and another after the workshops – with a career counsellor. The first consultation is a part of selection process, and the second is for career development.

Sessions are held from 15:00 to 18:00. The times of the consultations will be arranged with each participant individually. All sessions will be held on-site; however, locations will vary. 

The number of participants is limited; therefore, priority will be given to the most motivated students, but all VU students – Foreign and Lithuanian – are welcome to register! 

A certificate will be awarded to participants who complete the training program. 

Registration is closed. Next training will be organized again in the spring semester, and registration will open again.
