In today's interconnected global economy, adaptability and intercultural competencies are more than advantageous – they are essential.

The Una Europa Cross-border Careers Launchpad was borne out of a commitment to empower students with the skills, understanding, and experiences required to thrive in the increasingly diverse and international workplace.

Una Europa encourages its students to leverage the alliance’s international context, resources and opportunities, to consider careers beyond their national borders.

The Launchpad is an online platform where students can access materials, guidance, and unique opportunities to enhance their employability and intercultural skills. Whether seeking to start your career journey or aiming to expand your professional horizons beyond borders, the Launchpad has been designed to support your aspirations.

The Launchpad has been broken into sections, each of which shares resources or opportunities which are intended to support Una Europa students to develop the skills, mindsets and experiences needed to pursue careers in the global job market:

• Intercultural toolkit

This section aggregates resources intended to develop your ability to work and collaborate effectively across different cultural backgrounds. These resources can be used to advance your intercultural skills for a future international career or even support your participation in a range of Una Europa student activities.

• Una Europa internships

Detailed descriptions of intern positions available at Una Europa vzw are provided here, including insights into the competences these roles develop.

As the Launchpad develops, we plan to expand its offerings to showcase other relevant Una Europa opportunities with an employability focus and to share testimonials from Una Europa alumni who have successfully navigated cross-cultural careers themselves.
