Best job prospects for FH students
The Salzburg University of Applied Sciences has a strong focus on close cooperation with industry and practical relevance in education. The Contacta careers fair, which is being held for the 20th time this year, is a key element of this success. Founded 20 years ago as a practical project of the Business Administration degree programme, the careers fair has since become a highlight of the university year - with great interest at both exhibitor and student level. Many companies are long-standing participants and have one goal: to attract students from the fields of IT, technology, business and media to their companies. ‘Students at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences are highly sought-after specialists and managers, which is confirmed by the fact that Contacta is fully booked every year,’ says FH Salzburg Rector and Managing Director Dominik Engel. ‘As a practice-oriented university, we provide training for Salzburg as a business location and offer a hub between companies and students with Contacta.’
The fair opens the doors to interesting employers for students. Topics for Bachelor's or Master's theses, internships and career opportunities after graduation are offered. ‘The careers fair offers the perfect opportunity to make direct contact with potential employers and find out about different career paths. For me, it's particularly exciting to find out more about entry-level opportunities and internships that fit in with my degree programme,’ explains one student.
