Coca-Cola HBC Cyprus' exciting program, #YouthEmpowered, which aims to enhance the skills of young people aged 18-30 and is designed to prepare them for the modern and future job market, is expanding and this year will be presented at 5 Universities in Nicosia and Paphos.
The program created in 2017 to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and the job market is being upgraded and implemented this year as a multi-level three-stage program: ENGAGE, CONNECT, INSPIRE.
In the first stage, ENGAGE , participants acquire knowledge and skills related to their personal development, communication, successful job search and the development of their emotional intelligence. This phase includes three two-hour modules, which interested parties can choose according to their preferences and particular characteristics.
The presentation of the thematic modules has been undertaken by experienced executives of Coca-Cola HBC Cyprus. Specifically, Chara Leonidou, HR Business Partner of Coca-Cola HBC Cyprus will present the module “ CV and Job Interview ”, Christos Chronis, Sales Capability Lead of Coca-Cola HBC Cyprus will present the module “ Basic Principles of Sales ” and Andreas Giortsios, Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Manager of Coca-Cola HBC Cyprus will present the module “ Communication Skills ”.
In the second phase of the program, CONNECT , participants will deepen and acquire more specialized communication, negotiation, customer service, sales and basic financial skills. Participants who have attended at least one module from the ENGAGE phase will be eligible to participate in this six-hour phase.
The third stage, INSPIRE , offers the opportunity to delve into advanced sales skills, business modeling and entrepreneurship in a 30+ hour training. This stage is aimed at a limited number of individuals who will be selected from the participants of the CONNECT stage.
