As the largest university in the Republic of Armenia, Yerevan State University has provided qualified and knowledgeable personnel in many specialties to the marketplace throughout the years. The university is indeed the pathway that bonds education and the labor market. Effective interaction between the educational sector and the marketplace is very important in modern times to ensure a smooth transition from education to the labor market and keep up with rapid developments.
On May 16, within the framework of the "Learn & Work: YSU EXPO-2024", which gathers applicants, students, graduates, university units providing educational services and employers under one roof, the conference titled "Discourses on Educational Prospects and Career Opportunities" will also take place. It will provide an opportunity to delve into the education-labor market linkage, discussing professional orientation and the role of the employer in shaping an educational environment, involving the widest range of beneficiaries.
