During “Career days” we encourage students to imitate their future job interview and establish connections with potential employers. We have already noticed, that after such meetings contracts were made, either for future job and practice place, or partnership for writing final theses and project development,”- said Vilma Navikiene, Director of Integration and Career Department at VGTU.
During two weeks of lectures, students will meet almost forty leaders - VGTU alumni, company heads or representatives, TV showmen, actors, stars of entertainment world, such as J. Smoriginas, choreographer, ballet dancer, who will tell why “It Will Be Better Next Month”, Vlada Musvydaitė, TV sports news presenter, Lithuanian running champion, she will explain why “Sports is a Circle of Luck”, Andrius Olechnovicius, coacher will tell about emotional bankruptcy, Mindaugas Ivanavicius, project director of “Sweco“, will prove why studies and job practice is correct investment and Human resources manager of enterprise group “Girteka” will “teach to sell“...
On March 19 more than forty representatives from Lithuanian and foreign companies will come to the university. During Contacts Fair they will present their companies and make acquaintances with students, reading their Curriculum Vitae.
The third part of “Career Days 14” will start in April, visiting such companies as “Schmitz Cargobull Baltic”, “DPD Lietuva” or “Lithuanian Energy” and others.

“For the second year we are trying to create a space for discussions between students and employers, looking for new ideas and partnership. We are happy that students use this chance for making useful contacts, learning about the professions from practical point of view, paying special attention to the challenges and using it for inspiration while studying and making career,”- told V. Navikiene.
