Career Day 2013 – Get into YOUR future of Food!
Dear students and new grads,
we would like to invite you to participate in our 2 Career Days here in Pollenzo that this year will be back-to-back: the International Career Day on July 1st and the Italian Career Day on July 2nd.
We have invited job orientation experts and food companies to participate and make presentations in the morning, and some will also be available in the afternoon to hold informal one-on-one interviews with you.
The objective of these events is to stimulate you to think about how to look for work, what sort of sector you could go into and understand what intrigues you most. To give you an idea of what a UNISG Gastronome does once graduated, we have also invited some of our alumni to talk in the morning about their own job hunting and work experience after their studies here. Those of you who have to organise internships as part of your course might want to take this opportunity to seek potential internship positions or contacts.
