The 2nd edition of the University Career Festival is over!
On May 29th, 2025, the campus of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Wrocław transformed into a meeting space between students and the representatives from the public and private sectors, as well as those from NGOs.
The University Career Festival brought together dozens of exhibitors, who presented various paths of career development opportunities to students from the University’s social and humanities programmes. Aforementioned paths included job offers, internships, practices and volunteering options.
What was on the agenda?
– Job fairs – direct meetings with potential employers and institutions scouting for young talent.
– Personal development workshops – hands-on sessions focused on writing the CV, preparing for interviews or development of soft skills.
– Lectures and discussion panels – expert-led sessions on job market trends and career-building strategies.
