Eurotux launches platform to help IT students prepare for the labour market
The aim of the platform is to provide practical guidance that complements the academic training of higher education students in the IT field, giving them a competitive edge in their transition to the labour market.
Eurotux, a leading IT solutions company, is presenting a new online channel dedicated to higher education students in the field of Information Technology. This channel aims to help future professionals prepare more effectively for the challenges of the labour market through practical information and essential resources for a successful career entry.
The platform offers a series of articles and content developed by Eurotux experts, which address key topics for the students’ academic journey, from how to maximise their academic experiences with practical projects and internships, to creating a competitive CV and using tools such as LinkedIn and GitHub to strengthen their digital presence. Eurotux, which maintains a close relationship with institutions such as the University of Minho, IPB and IPCA, understands the gaps between academic training and the practical knowledge needed to navigate the labour market and seeks to bridge those gaps with this initiative.
‘What we notice about the students who come to us is that, although they have a strong academic base, they are often unaware of the dynamics of the IT market. We want to change that by providing valuable information that, unfortunately, isn’t always passed on to them during their university career,’ says Daniela Costa, Eurotux’s Chief Operating Officer.
The platform addresses topics such as the importance of developing soft skills, the role of projects in a business context, and outlines strategies for creating a network of contacts and opportunities even before graduating. In addition, the platform will share tips on how to make the most of attending job fairs and professional events, as well as how to take advantage of mentoring and networking opportunities.
With this channel, Eurotux is reinforcing its commitment to preparing the next generation of IT professionals, offering them a solid base of knowledge and practical tools that will set them apart in the competitive technology sector.
