Collaboration in Action!
Network Café
On November 12th, we hosted our Network Café, bringing together ambitious students and international companies. This event was designed to foster meaningful conversations, and open doors to exciting internship opportunities for our students. We were thrilled to welcome representatives from Coty, Nissan Motor Parts Center, Teijin Aramid, Deloitte, Mainfreight Europe, Innova Market Insights & CNS Media B.V., Be Informed, and Infinite Group.
Company Visit
Getting hands-on experience is central for students at universities of applied sciences. Therefore, we always arrange company visits for our students. Students gain an idea of what's it like to work into their professions and get an idea of industry throughout their visits. Company visits is a good way for students to get to know your organizations. Contact us if you would like to host our students in your company.
