College of Europe in Tirana Careers Office

At the College of Europe in Tirana, we not only educate future leaders but also empower them to create positive change in their communities, countries, and the EU. Our students are trained and equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to address contemporary challenges.

We actively collaborate with institutions, organisations, and potential employers from both the public and private sectors to enhance our students' career prospects. These partnerships are important as they provide valuable insights, resources, and networking opportunities that enable our students to make a meaningful impact.

Our Mission

We create pathways for all our students to explore, pursue, and achieve fulfilling careers through personalised coaching, skills development workshops, and a dynamic network of opportunities and connections.

PATH - Our Career Framework

We view career development as a journey. Our resources and strategies align with the PATH Career Framework, our approach to supporting professional growth. We prepare students for leadership roles in the private, public, and non-profit sectors, with a special focus on careers within EU institutions. This focus on EU affairs helps students succeed in roles that shape policies and influence the future of Europe.
