Career Café

Networking is one of the most effective ways of getting a first job. The Alumni Office would like to help current students in connecting with young alumni to talk about finding a job in the North and abroad during the CareerCafé.
During the CareerCafé our alumni will share their experience of living and working. You can easily select the alum you would like to talk to during the in person or online session. The in person sessions are for the talks with alumni in the North and the online sessions are organized for the talks with the alumni abroad.
Curious? Just register online. This is a great opportunity to connect with an alumni who works in the city and/or company you would like to join, learn from their personal career story and get tips on how to start a successful career. For an overview of the participating alumni and the details of this years CareerCafé, please see the information below:
