Students have the opportunity to engage with companies interactively through various workshops hosted by our partners. Some workshops include CV selection processes, while others do not. This provides an excellent opportunity for companies to inform and enthuse students about their organization. They can present marketing-related cases or introduce new products, seeking fresh insights from the students.
Participating in one of the workshops is a great way to get to know a company and maybe even your future employer. These workshops will start with a company presentation and will continue with a business case. During this case, you will have the opportunity to solve a real life problem with your team. Cases are a good way to present your competencies to recruiters, but also to see what a company does in everyday business.
The companies hosting workshops at the conference are: Belsimpel, L'Oréal, SchaalX, Nederlande Loterij, Wehkamp, Riedel, and Elevation Group. Additionally, there is a general workshop hosted by GDBC. When registering for the conference, you can indicate your preferences for the workshop. Below, you will find a brief description of each workshop offered on March 12th:
