"Learn & Work: YSU Expo-2026" concludes with certificates awarded to volunteers

Behind the success of major events are often people whose work goes unseen. They turn ideas into reality, ensure events run smoothly, and quietly handle countless organizational tasks. At Yerevan State University, these people took center stage as the organizing team and volunteers of "Learn & Work: YSU Expo-2026" were recognized for their contributions.

A certificate-awarding ceremony was held at YSU for the volunteers who helped organize and stage the expo. The meeting provided an opportunity to review the work accomplished, recognize the volunteers' contributions, and highlight the importance of teamwork.

YSU Vice-Rector for International Relations, Development, and Innovation Mikayel Hovhannisyan thanked the university team and volunteers for their active engagement in organizing the expo and carrying out their responsibilities with dedication.

The vice-rector also emphasized the importance of reviewing the experience gained and considering volunteers' suggestions to make future events more effective.

"'Learn & Work' is more than a one-day event. It is the result of long-term work and the joint efforts of a team united by a common goal. Those who are willing to contribute their time and knowledge to a shared success play an important role in this process," Mikayel Hovhannisyan emphasized.

The volunteers took part in preparing and staging the expo. Some were members of the media team, covering the event and sharing information about it. Their involvement gave them an opportunity to gain firsthand experience in organizing a large-scale event.

Leili Hayrapetyan, a first-year student at the YSU Faculty of Journalism, spoke about her experience as a member of the media team.

"As a first-year student, I had a great opportunity to volunteer with the media team and take my first professional steps. In addition to gaining practical experience, I was able to develop my teamwork and communication skills and make new connections that I am confident will play an important role in my future career and contribute to my personal growth," she said.

The fourth edition of "Learn & Work: YSU Expo-2026," held on September 23, brought together students, graduates, and employers, providing a platform for networking, cooperation, and new professional opportunities.

This year's expo featured around 38 partner organizations presenting employment, internship, and career development opportunities. Students also showcased innovative projects they had developed, aiming to establish connections with potential partners and sponsors.
