The Career Service is here to help students (and recent graduates) in their transition to the job market. That's why we organise various activities throughout the year, including:
Large-scale events
- Meet the Employer – an event for specific job vacancies aimed at third-year and master's students, featuring 45-minute sessions where employers introduce themselves to students and discuss the company in general, as well as upcoming job vacancies.
- Brussels visit – a visit to Brussels to visit several organisations to discover career opportunities and speak to alumni working in Brussels.
- Speed dating with Traineeships – an event where students have speed dates with traineeships from organisations. Students are divided into groups and visit all companies in rounds of 10 minutes. This event takes place on March 6.
- Campus The Hague Career Event – a job fair with short company pitches for orientation, targeting all students. At this event, companies have stands in a market-like setting, and students explore and get to know all the companies.
Targeted events
- Company visits – we visit organisations. These events usually include a tour, presentation, and an interactive exercise related to the type of work done at the organisation, allowing students to get a taste of what it's like to work for the organisation. For instance, we have a standing appointment with the Ministry of Finance for a yearly visit.
- Career College – speakers come to us to talk about a specific topic. Typically, multiple organisations are present at these events because they are organised around a particular theme (e.g., ‘Working at an NGO', ‘Working in an International Career', etc.)
- Company workshops – organisations come to us to give a workshop on a specific skill (e.g., negotiation).
