Employability Study Visit
20-22 November, 2019
Lisbon, Portugal
Do you want to learn from the big companies?
Do you want to know how is it like working for these companies?
What is the selection process?
Do you want to network & boost your career?
OBJECTIVE
The objective of our next activity is to show students how the transition from university to the job market happens, and we hope this will inspire them to take advantage of their time at university, to broaden their horizons, and be active about their personal development and discover the real world of work.
By study visit, we mean a tour of the office, a short presentation of the brand and services and a meeting with people from the HR department, who can show how it is like working for the company visited, what is the working culture, what is the selection process and expectations towards new graduates.
The study visit will take place on 20-22 November in Lisbon, Portugal.
