From the lecture hall to professional life – guidance from akademika

Sooner or later the moment comes when every student has to think about their professional future. Some people start their dream job straight after completing their studies; Others don't know for a long time where their professional journey should take them, and some have had certain ideas about their future for a long time and are ultimately unsure whether the path they want is the right one.

In all of these cases, it makes sense to get tips, help and information about specific career opportunities, companies and professional fields, such as those provided by the job fairs that take place regularly throughout Germany. One of the most renowned career fairs for academics and students is akademika . It takes place twice a year, including in Augsburg. As the largest platform for university graduates in southern Germany, it is an important meeting point for companies and students who can find out about career opportunities, offers and trends in various professional sectors.
