Skills Academy – soft skills or transferable skills development program for students. Due to ongoing changes in the labor market, in order to stay competitive and develop careers successfully, there is need for new competencies, reskilling and upskilling. MRU aims to respond to the needs of students and employers, providing opportunities to develop transferable skills, which will help to successfully integrate into the labor market and adapt to change.

Since the beginning of 2023 we have been developing a platform, where you can find various trainings aimed at developing transferable skills here https://edu.mruni.eu/

Areas of training: leadership, creativity, personal effectiveness, personal career management, stress management, etc.

Course duration is 27 hours, of which 8 ac. hours are allocated to classwork and 19 hours are allocated to self-study.

Upon successful completion of the training, a micro-credential (1 ECTS) is issued in the form of a digital badge.

Trainings takes place in groups (up to 15 students). The trainings are conducted by MRU professors, social partners are invited as guest speakers and contributors. Skills Academy trainings are free for MRU students.
