25th Edition takes place on the 8th and 9th November
ISEG's biggest employability event will be back on the 8th and 9th November, and already has a record number of national and multinational companies taking part. More than 100 organisations will be present at the event, from the most diverse sectors of activity.
After last year's edition, when about 1,500 students from all of ISEG's study cycles had the opportunity to submit around 6,000 CVs to the main employers, the 25th Edition of the ISEG Career Forum reinforces its importance as the main gateway for students to enter the job market. In 2022 alone, the event led to the recruitment of 250 ISEG students by the 'Big 4'.
"O The main objective of ISEG Career Services is to bring academia and organisations closer together, highlighting ISEG's excellent academic education, as well as the high potential of its students, who are characterised by a unique collaborative spirit." says Helena Faria, Head of Career Services at ISEG. "Entering the job market is a challenging time and, as such, we want students to have the opportunity to experience these moments of closeness in a simple and constructive way“.
The first day of the ISEG Career Forum (on the 8th November), starts with a Business Breakfast with Students. This is the perfect opportunity for students to receive advice on a successful career from some of the most outstanding professionals from the participating companies. The day continues with the Careers Fair, an event that counts with 70 companies*, where students will have the chance to meet their recruiters in person and find out about the job or internship opportunities available.
The second day (the 9th November) is dedicated to the Talent Ignition session. The aim of this initiative is to encourage students to reflect on their careers and develop their personal and employability skills. Around 150 professionals from more than 100 organisations from a wide range of sectors will take part in this dynamic event, when students are invited to make their pitch and share personalised feedback which will be useful for their academic and professional future.
"We believe that this is a unique opportunity for students to have direct and differentiated contact with companies from different sectors of activity, both national and international, to explore the job market, identify companies that could be part of their professional goals, and increase their network of contacts. For the companies, this is also an opportunity to meet and identify high-potential students who can fit in with their needs, as well as activate their brands and carry out Employer Branding." he concludes Helena Faria.
