EmpowerU truly lived up to its name — inspiring our students to envision their future!

The Library in St. Catherine's Upper School came alive yesterday as IB students took part in the EmpowerU Career Fair — a dynamic event designed to inspire, inform, and empower the next generation of professionals.

A student-driven initiative supported by CAS and the Futures Team, the EmpowerU Career Fair brought together professionals who shared invaluable insights into their industries and personal career journeys from a diverse group of companies, including:

  • Aegean Airlines
  • AXIA Ventures Group Ltd
  • Breathe Hellas
  • Deloitte
  • European Parliament
  • Expedia Group
  • Hellas Direct
  • JBS Training
  • KEFI Tours
  • Miele
  • Navigator Shipping Consultants
  • Neurosoft
  • Papapolitis & Papapolitis
  • Pieris Architects

Throughout the day, students engaged in one-to-one discussions and interactive sessions, gaining practical advice on how to navigate their future pathways — from university choices and internships to developing the skills and mindset needed to stand out in an increasingly competitive world.

The event’s success reflected the power of collaboration between students, staff, and industry professionals. By connecting academic learning with real-world experience, EmpowerU encouraged students to take ownership of their futures with curiosity, confidence, and purpose.

“It was incredible to speak directly with people doing the jobs we aspire to,” said one IB student. “It made our dreams feel real — and achievable.”

Congratulations to the CAS and Futures teams, as well as the IB students, Sophia C. and Valeria L., who made this initiative a reality.

EmpowerU truly lived up to its name — inspiring our students to envision their future and take the next steps towards achieving it.
