The workshops focus on developing the talents of our students. By providing them with skills that every successful employee should have, we are increasing their future chances of success on the job market. The event is also an opportunity for your company to get to know the next generation of economists and business specialists, to help with their development and to exchange knowledge. Examples of relevant topics include application skills or other professional skills.
The workshops of the careers week are based on the career circle. The career cycle is a framework with four stages that students progress through before entering the labour market.
