Why is this day important?
At Linnaeus University and the Faculty of Technology, we actively help our students build a network of potential future employers right from the start, while they are still at university. Networking is important not only to pave the way for their future professional life, but also as part of their university studies, to facilitate case studies, placements, and degree projects.
Tech and construction students are generally curious about their future career prospects, and we are positive that both students and businesses will benefit from an increased awareness among students of what their various career options actually involve.
Do not miss this opportunity – sign up for Career Day Technology and Construction Day! And please do not hesitate to contact Jan Novak or Helena Belfrage, or send an email to samverkan.ftk@lnu.se, with any questions you may have.
