In the programme you’ll find workshops, company presentations, CV checks, keynote speakers, and a job fair.

UvA Career Networking Events

The UvA Career Networking Events are a series of three informal networking sessions with a panel of international UvA alumni with a career in the Netherlands. The events take place on three evenings in April and May, and each event focuses on a specific industry. UvA alumni share the ins and outs of their career journey, the challenges they faced, and tips and tricks. Afterwards, they join in to network in several rounds with international students. Companies or organisations with an international UvA alumnus in their team can participate by being part of the panel.
