Monday, 22 May 2023 The successful conclusion of the second Career Fair of the University of Primorska

On Wednesday, 17 May 2023, the University of Primorska (UP) hosted the second Career Fair of the University of Primorska, organized by employees of the UP Career Center, in cooperation with colleagues from other departments of the UP Rectorate and UP members.

Its main purpose is to connect the university with the environment, presenting employers' organisations, university partners and potential employers of graduates. On the other hand, the fair is important for raising awareness of the importance of lifelong career orientation, for connecting and strengthening existing contacts between UP and its partners and for finding new opportunities for cooperation.

The UP Career Fair was opened by the Rector of the University of Primorska, prof. Klavdija Kutnar, PhD. She emphasised the importance of networking for the university and the opportunities that such an event offers to students and graduates on the one hand, and to employers and partners on the other.

Students and graduates had the opportunity to talk to employers within the Employment Café. Many students, graduates and random visitors got the information they needed regarding the activities of the employers present, the possibilities of cooperation in the form of a study placement, project work or even a job. On the other hand, the representatives of employer organisations gained a number of contacts of promising young people who might be able to integrate them into their work environment.

The University of Primorska would like to thank all our partners for a pleasant day, who took part in the UP Career Fair programme and provide our students and graduates with an insight into what is happening on the labour market.
