The Career Service is here to help students (and recent graduates) in their transition to the job market. That's why we organise various activities throughout the year, including:

Large-scale events:

• Meet the Employer – an event where potential employers present themselves and their specific opportunities for students. It is aimed at third-year and master's students. In 45-minute sessions, you will learn more about the organisation and what possibilities there are for you.
• Brussels visit – a visit to Brussels to visit several organisations to discover career opportunities and speak to alumni working in Brussels.
• Speed dating – an event where students speed date with employers. Students are divided into groups and visit all organisations in 10-minute rounds.
• Jobfair – a job fair with short company pitches for orientation, targeting all students. At this event, organisations have stands in a market-like setting, and students explore and get to know all the organisations.
• Workshops and training related to job market preparation – to learn all the necessary skills. For example, workshops such as ‘Networking & LinkedIn’, ‘CV & Cover letter writing’, or ‘Motivations’.
