Training, together with information and counselling in the personal, academic and professional dimensions of students constitute the areas on which university guidance is based and which, therefore, give meaning to the work of professionals.
In this context, we have been developing training actions that complement the learning that students acquire in their syllabus, with an eminently practical character. In order to give coherence to these actions, we promote different conferences and workshops for the development of transversal competences.
A half-day, virtual insight experience for students pursuing computer science or related degrees, and who are interested in software development internship or graduate opportunities in Luxembourg; due to graduate in 2022 or 2023.
