From the university theory - to work practice
Annually students and graduates of higher educational institutions face employment problems. It is considered that it is almost impossible to get a position in a large and reliable company.
However, representatives of world famous companies and institutions that participated in the session "Universities and business: mutually beneficial cooperation in key areas of activity" of the international conference "University and employers: effective cooperation for attracting, training and finding employment for international students" managed to dispel this unfavorable myth. The experts demonstrated successful cases for solving the problems of training effective staff and shared their companies' experience in finding and training highly qualified specialists.
