Bilbao Campus
On February 26 and 27, Deusto will open its doors to talent with the celebration of the XX Employment and Entrepreneurship Forum, a classic event at the University that will bring together more than 2,000 students and recent graduates looking for a job. To this end, more than 70 companies and organizations from all sectors have been invited to this forum to search for and recruit their future professionals. In addition to the stands, a large number of activities have been organized to better prepare for the labor market.
Entre ellas, destaca la celebración de varias mesas redondas con expertos del sector que, organizadas en colaboración con las distintas Facultades de la Universidad, profundizarán en torno las últimas tendencias en consultoría, banca, IA y Biga Data, transformación digital y sostenibilidad de la industria, en entrenamiento físico y deportivo y turismo, así como sobre las posibilidades de trabajo en las instituciones europeas. También habrá presentaciones de empresas como Danone, Amazon, Ertzaintza o Policía local, charlas con Lanbide y talleres con otras organizaciones como Rural Kutxa y Abante, entre otros.
The Forum, with 20 years of experience, is an example of the University's commitment to professional development and incorporation into the labor market. For Deusto, employability means responding to the needs of university talent and accompanying its graduates in their preparation for the labor market. A task that the latest data on labor market insertion successfully endorse by raising the employment rate of Deusto graduates to 92% three years after completing their studies. As far as the activity rate is concerned, it is 91%, which means that nine out of ten recent graduates set out to find employment as soon as they obtained their degree.
More data: The average time to find the first job is 3 months, employment related to studies is 78% and 94% of the people surveyed work in the service sector. The weight of stable employment over the total is 68% and 76% work and live in the Basque Country.
