The University of Primorska and the Career Centre of the University of Primorska are once again organising the University of Primorska Career Fair, which will take place on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, from 10 AM to 2 PM in the multi-purpose hall at UP FAMNIT (entrance from Muzejski trg) in Koper. The event is designed to connect students, graduates, and potential employers and has traditionally served as a hub of opportunity, new connections, and the beginning of career paths.
Numerous companies and organisations that recognise the potential of young talent and wish to integrate promising students and graduates from the University of Primorska into their work environments will be present. They will offer various forms of collaboration, from student and project work to internships and full-time employment opportunities.
A special feature of this year’s Career Fair is the Employment Café, which allows students and graduates to engage in direct and informal conversations with representatives from selected organisations. To facilitate the organisation of these meetings, participants are kindly asked to register in advance by signing up for the Employment Café schedule.
The UP Career Fair is more than just an informational event – it’s where meaningful first contacts often lead to concrete collaborations. For many young people, it represents the first step into the professional world, while for employers, it’s a valuable opportunity to find future collaborators.
Admission is free. Opportunities await – don’t miss them!
