Enthusiastic companies and driven talents meet at the Fontys ICT Career Day 2024
On Thursday 14 November (Eindhoven) and Tuesday 19 November (Tilburg) last, the Fontys InnovationLab and P8 locations were buzzing with energy during the Fontys ICT Career Day. Over 50 partner companies in Eindhoven and 35 in Tilburg, were ready to meet Fontys ICT students.
It was a dynamic opportunity for students to explore internships, side jobs and their future careers, while companies continued their search for top talent. The event is an excellent opportunity for partner companies to connect with young IT talent interested in an environment where innovation and technology come together.
In search of talent
Without exception, the companies are looking for talent; motivated, inquisitive students who are open to a thriving IT career. Many students who intern at a company may advance into a job. Good students are keen to be retained.
Approachable introduction to future employers
The Career Day is not only interesting for the companies: Students can see during the Career Day what kind of companies match their requirements. The Career Day is also a low-threshold way for students who find it difficult to get in touch with companies to talk to professionals and the work field.
Discovering other opportunities within the study career
During the Career Day, students could also find out about the various choices within the study career. All minors, specialisations and master's degree programmes were represented at the information market. A unique way for students to get in touch with all the possibilities within the study programme. They could also test at the companies what jobs are possible with a certain profile or specialisation.
A successful afternoon full of future opportunities!
Over 950 students from Eindhoven and 250 students from Tilburg visited the Career Days. Many matches were made. In short: A successful afternoon!
The Fontys ICT Career Day takes place twice a year at the Fontys ICT InnovationLab in Eindhoven and once a year at P8 in Tilburg. Visitors can meet more than 60 companies, as well as various specialisations, minors and master's degree programmes.
