Company fair
One might say a science student will always find a job, but we believe it is crucial to find a job you love! We provide you with a selection of different types of companies in various industries. So also consider careers outside the industry your study focuses on, for example, IT or consulting. And get a taste of the difference between a start-up and a multinational. Meeting all these companies can help you get a feeling of which companies suit you the best. You may even find a job!
Workshop
Do you want to learn a new skill that can help you find a job? Or do you like to learn more about possible career paths? In a workshop, a visiting company will inform you about different essential subjects to make decisions in your career path.
Speedates
Speeddates are one on one sessions between you and a company. The sessions are a great way to show who you are and introduce yourself to future employers.
Before the event, you can provide your CV to companies you want to join in a speed date session. The companies will review all the CVs and make a selection of the students they would like to get to know. You will receive more information about the speed date sessions a few days before the event.
Career Service
During the event, we provided several services to help you rocket start your career.
We collaborate with the Career Services of Leiden University to check your CV. In this one-on-one session with a career counsellor, you will find ways to improve your CV. So make sure you bring your resume to the event! (If you are a Leiden University student, you can also use their services all year around, more info here: careerzone.universiteitleiden.nl)
At the event, we gather a group of start-ups and entrepreneurial experts. You can hang out with them to learn more about starting your own company.
