On April 9, 2025, students from the Economics and Business Administration program at EPOKA University participated in a site visit to Vodafone Albania, as part of their Management and Organization course. The visit was led by lecturer Mikaela Suslu in collaboration with the Career Planning and Alumni Office, and provided students with an invaluable opportunity to connect academic learning with practical industry experience.

The day began with a coffee and networking session, followed by a welcome from Erald Hysa, HR Director at Vodafone Albania, who emphasized the importance of lifelong learning and professional trustworthiness.

Students then attended sessions led by Deborah Hatellari and Fatma Ibrahimi, who explained Vodafone Albania’s internal structure, outlining the function of each department and the career opportunities available to students and graduates.

Another session highlighted Vodafone’s commitment to employee development through continuous learning, training, and cross-functional opportunities. Students gained perspective on how career growth at Vodafone is shaped by adaptability, curiosity, and a drive to acquire new skills—regardless of one’s academic background.

The visit also included personal career journeys from Ada Taho and Evi Hoxha, both Vodafone professionals who encouraged students to follow their passion, embrace challenges, and stay open to change and collaboration throughout their careers.

A highlight of the day was the participation of two EPOKA alumni, Irisa and Dejvi, who joined Vodafone through the Discover Graduate Program. They spoke about Vodafone’s inclusive and supportive work environment and the valuable experiences the program provided through cross-departmental rotations.

The visit concluded with a tour of Vodafone’s offices, offering a closer look at the company's operations and culture.

EPOKA University extends its sincere thanks to Vodafone Albania for its hospitality, insightful sessions, and ongoing commitment to empowering future professionals.
