Your Career

Your career

It is a common misconception, that your career starts when you have graduated and have gotten your first job. In reality your career profile and career path have already begun taking form when you started your studies. 

The choices you make during your studies will all together affect your CV and the skills you gain before you enter the job market after graduation. That’s why it is important to become aware of the different possibilities you have during your time at the IT-University. 

It is important to remember that we all have our own career paths, so there isn´t just one right way. As your Career Advisors we have tried to make you reflect upon some essential parts of creating your own career and profile. This also means, that you always should find inspiration from your surroundings, so you can awaken your “Career Awareness”.

Career events at the IT-university

We have a lot of different fairs throughout the semester, that can help you to develop your professional network, target your career focus and make you more aware of your own worth on the job market up ahead. 

In addition to these predetermined fairs, we also have a lot of additional workshops and events focused on strengthen your insight into your own strengths, competencies and opportunities.

Career Week

Each semester we dedicate a whole week to strengthening your career awareness. So, you get the possibility to immerse yourself in becoming aware of your own skills and competencies – as well as exploring possible career paths.

It all culminates in our big career fair IT Match Making, where you get the opportunity to network with interesting companies and plant a seed for your future

Project and Thesis Market

Many of ITU students write a project or a thesis in collaboration with the industry, so every fall semester we have a fair to show you your different opportunities and prepare you for the task ahead.

As an extra inspiration for emerging thesis writers we also have Thesis Talks, where you can hear specially selected graduates review their thesis and results.

You are always welcome to stop by the Study and Career Guidance for a talk about your future career. We can help you reflect upon all the different stages of your career life – from applying for a student job to help you get your first fulltime job after graduation.

Some of the things we are trained in are:
Giving feedback on CV and application
Helping you make a skill assessment of your own unique profile 
Reflecting with you upon job searching strategies
Talking about how to tackle stepping into the unknown after graduation
