Practical information:

Date: Tuesday 13 September 2022

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN?

Studies have proven that early connections to the labor market strengthen your chances of landing your first job in Denmark. This also applies to international graduates. However, many graduates, especially internationals, find it hard to land their first relevant study job in Denmark due to their lack of connection to Danish companies.

By joining this event, you will receive tips on how to strengthen your connections and job opportunities already as a student, and you will meet and match with major Danish companies that recruit international talents within Life Science and Tech.

Tips for attendees:

We highly advise you to bring a printed CV (with a picture and contact information), as it can be useful when networking with the companies at the career fair.

Good reasons to join the event:

For Students: Match and connect with a company where you have the chance to collaborate on a project or be employed as a student assistant
For Graduates: Find your next employer and expand your network
Gain insight on how to strengthen your CV and build lasting connections to the Danish labour market and beyond
Get your printed CV checked by professional recruiter
Free snacks and drinks
