Career Group
About this group
The Career group aims to bridge the gap between students and employers and to give members insight into what a career in foreign affairs can entail. To this end, we organize events and projects to bring students closer to their future.
Striving to provide our members with opportunities to network with potential employers, we organize seminars, prep courses, mingles, and panel discussions. Our flagship projects are Career Day and the Academy of Foreign Politics.
Career day
The fair will be hosted at a date to confirm during the operational year 22/23.
The Academy of Foreign Politics
The Academy is our annual prep-course consisting of seminars, lectures and networking events during the rest of the academic year. The goal is to help students acquire new knowledge by getting a concrete picture of what they want to work with and how to reach their goals, it serves as a bridge between studies and working life.
Career counseling and other events
Aside from our two flagship projects, we also provide career counseling, assistance in writing CV’s, and courses in MS Excel, among other things.
For Students
Joining the career group means getting a near invaluable opportunity to get in touch with employers, as well as learning and getting used to navigating the tricky web of foreign politics. As the group is only a few years old, an ambitious student has the opportunity to shape the group and influence the direction of the events. Do you want to establish a mentorship programme? Organize a networking breakfast? We want to provide you the resources to do so.
For Employers and Organizations
Do you want to stand as an exhibitor for Career Day, or teach students valuable skills through the Academy? Are you looking to recruit interns, and meet prospective talents? The Career Group is looking to help bind students with your operations, and provide a steady stream of ambitious and well-prepared up-and-comers for you.
