Job Shadowing in Cyprus – June 2025 VETpreneur Study Visit: Empowering Youth Through Entrepreneurship Education in Cyprus

June 15–24, 2025 | Cyprus 

In June 2025, the VETpreneur journey continued with an inspiring 10-day job shadowing program in Cyprus. The initiative brought together VETpreneur implementing partners and civil society organizations from Albania, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina, all working in VET institution management, capacity building, and youth empowerment. 

During the visit, participants explored Nicosia and surrounding areas, engaging with local organizations, businesses, and social innovators who are driving positive change in their communities. These exchanges offered a hands-on understanding of how entrepreneurship education can empower youth and strengthen cross-border collaboration in the region. 

VETpreneur: Empowering VET Youth through Job Shadowing Experiences

In April 2025, Junior Achievement Albania participated in a 10-day job shadowing program in Slovenia under the VETpreneur Project. The program brought together learners, educators, and management staff from Albania, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina, immersing them in Slovenia’s dynamic entrepreneurial and vocational education ecosystem. 

9 participants from Albania engaged with innovative entrepreneurs, observed daily business operations, and joined practical workshops on integrating the EntreComp Framework — the European model for entrepreneurial competence — into teaching and learning. This framework helps educators and youth connect education with labor market needs, fostering employability, innovation, and entrepreneurial mindsets.
