This was the first sectoral job fair organized by UNIR, through the Department of Professional Opportunities and Employability, and also had the novelty that some of the presentations given were broadcast live across social networks.

This initiative, which lasted all of last week, had more than 45,000 visits to the 155 stands of national and international participants. Iberdrola, Microsoft, EY, AERTIC, Bosonit, Indra, Schneider Electric, Akka Technologies, Telefónica, HP, P&G, Adecco, Cepsa, Orange, FCC Medioambiente, and Kuehne+Nagel were some of the companies present.

For Cristina Belloso, head of the university’s Employment Area, “The fair has been a great opportunity for our students and other expert candidates to approach companies of great prestige in the digital world, a field with a high demand for employment at the moment. In addition, more than 1,500 participants attended the cycle of 19 conferences on current trends and skills required by the labor market that were organized during the fair.”

About UNIR’s Virtual Job Fair

UNIR’s goal is to put students in contact with top-level companies, train them in the most demanded competencies, and support them in the process of entering the job market.
