Career Fair

On June 29th, the BSBI Careers Service collaborated with the GISMA and UE University Careers Teams to host the inaugural GGG Summer Career Fair for students and recent graduates from all three institutions. The event was held at the UE campus in Berlin.

The event featured 18 organisations based in Berlin, in Germany or further in Europe including, for example, McDonald’s, Deutsche Bank, Pestana Hotel Group and Miles. The event welcomed more than 400 visitors throughout the day. Additionally, BSBI, GISMA, and UE students and graduates had the opportunity to attend company presentations, have their professional profile picture taken, and receive on-site resume reviews by career consultants.

Summer Career Fair 2023 highlighted the advantages of scale, with a significant employer turnout and a large number of students in attendance. BSBI, GISMA, and UE are excited to host the next GGG Fair at BSBI’s Alte Post campus in November this year.
