Raising awareness of disability and inclusion

One of the highlights of this edition is a space fully dedicated to disability awareness. Interactive workshops, simulations, and testimonials from professionals in the field are on the program, aiming to shift perceptions of disability and show that career paths accessible to everyone are far more common than most people realize.

Why you shouldn’t miss Orientation Night?

Because a career fair is nice enough, but a real human connection is better. Here, no impersonal booths or brochures to collect: authentic exchanges with real professionals, concrete experiences to explore, and fresh ideas to take away.
