A few things about us

The Youth Information Centres (YIC) are in fact the physical presence of the Youth Board of Cyprus all over Cyprus, since there is at least one Youth Information Centre in each of the five provinces. The YICs’ primary aim is to provide information to young people on any subject of their interest. That might be education and studies, volunteerism, personal and professional development, co-funding programmes, mobility programmes and many more. At the same, at the YICs’ premises young people can have one-to-one meetings with Career Counsellors and psychologists of the Career Guidance Service and of the Psychosocial Programmes of the Youth Board of Cyprus accordingly.

Here’s what you can find at a Youth Information Centre:

Personalised career counselling and guidance

Personal meetings between YBC career counsellors and school students, university students and young people. Personal counselling sessions may cover a wide range of topics: school subjects selection guidance, filling of public university entrance application forms, information on studying in Cyprus and abroad, CV building, academic and professional options, etc.

The meetings are held at Youth Board of Cyprus Youth Information Centres.

Career test and result analysis

Career tests are suitable for students (Middle school, High school, Technical school), university students and other young people.

Career test is a valuable supportive tool for career counsellors that allows them to offer personalised guidance based on the interests and skills of each young person.

Through the career test, young people achieve self-awareness and discover certain hidden talents, skills and personality features. This self-discovery will help them select a more suitable academic and professional path.

The test is offered FREE of charge, following a preliminary meeting with the YBC career counsellor who will decide whether a career test is recommended or not.

Series of workshops on soft skills development

These address school and university students, job seekers and young professionals. They are held at Youth Information Centres in every city, as well as other places, by the Youth Board of Cyprus.

The workshops aim at preparing young people for the job market (e.g. CV drafting, preparation for a job interview, good practices for job hunting, etc.). They also provide professional development skills that help young people become successful professionals (e.g. presentation and communication skills, cooperation and group work, digital skills development, etc.)

Career Academies

Career academies are open to students, job seekers and young professionals who wish to achieve professional development.

Youth Board of Cyprus Career Academies are one or two-day events that offer comprehensive training on professional development through lectures and workshops by leading key-note speakers.

Participants attend intensive lectures, inspirational speeches by young professionals or other trainers from the business sector and participate actively in experiential workshops. Through their active participation, young participants exchange good practices, practise networking and develop on a personal and professional level.

A wide range of topics is covered, such as:

Career choice, job hunting, junior career development, funding opportunities, professional skills development, etc.

All Career Counselling Services are offered FREE of charge to all young people.

Psychosocial Empowerment

At the Youth Information Centres one can arrange one-to-one meetings with our experienced psychologists to discuss any issue or problem he/she is preoccupied with. Our psychologist carry out meetings with teenagers, young people, young couples and families who are faced with challenges in their lives. Some of the topics that can be discussed during these personal meetings are: relationship issues (friendship, marital, familial or any other kind of relationships), domestic violence, addictive substances issues, anti-social/delinquent behaviour, or any other issue.

Moreover, psychoeducational groups and experiential workshops are organized at the Youth Information Centres. Through their participation young people have the chance to discover and develop their personal skills, identify and overcome their weaknesses, discuss their concerns and search for solutions.
