After graduation

Career (or post-graduate) guidance is a service that aims to guide undergraduate and graduate students towards the world of work, through various activities and initiatives.

The orientation service is mainly carried out by degree course staff and the Academic and career guidance and Job Placement Unit.

Specifically:

• the degree course, through the delegate (Prof. Carlo Alberto Gemignani), organises and publicises meetings with representatives from the world of work (e.g. professionals, civil servants, entrepreneurs, etc.) in order to illustrate to students the characteristics of individual activities and the challenges that graduates will have to face at the end of their university education.
• The Academic and career guidance e Job Placement organises a series of orientation interventions to accompany towards the world of work those who are about to finish or have already finished higher education, favouring the improvement of soft skills and knowledge of professional profiles and related opportunities.
