Students meet potential employers at Career Events in Leiden and The Hague
On Wednesday 15 April, two career events for students took place: the Humanities Career Event in Leiden and the Job Fair in The Hague. Together, these events attracted nearly a thousand students who were keen to explore their career options.
At the Herta Mohr Building in Leiden, students of the faculty of Humanities attended the Humanities Career Event, featuring 30 presentations from organisations including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Deloitte, NOS and publisher Meulenhoff. Many of the speakers were alumni from our faculty, offering students valuable insights into their career journeys and work environments. They also reflected on how the knowledge and skills gained during their studies continue to shape their current roles.
At the Wijnhaven Building in The Hague, students of three different faculties attended the Job Fair, where they had the opportunity to meet over 45 organisations from the Netherlands and abroad. This career fair catered to both Dutch and international students, offering a range of concrete opportunities, from internships to graduate positions. Attendees were able to network, explore current vacancies, and ask questions directly to representatives from organisations such as the International Criminal Court, ING, Public Matters, and the Ministry of Finance. The Job Fair was organised in collaboration with the Career Services of FGGA and FSW.
In addition to meeting employers and alumni, students at both events could also have their CVs reviewed, receive styling advice, and have a professional photo taken for their CV or LinkedIn profile.
The Career Services support students throughout the year with workshops, information sessions, career advice, and events. In this way, students are optimally prepared to take the first steps towards a meaningful career.
