Career Days
26 August
About Our Career Days
Each year, we host career days where top companies with available IT internship positions are invited to showcase their organisations. These events allow companies to see the high standard at which our students perform and to engage with them as potential employers.
They also provide our students with an opportunity to secure their crucial internship year at
one of the attending organisations to gain vital industry knowledge and complete their
qualifications.
For more information
Email events@belgiumcampus.ac.za or call 010 593 5368 and ask for Ms Mpho Matloga.
You can sign up to attend a morning or afternoon session on any of our career day dates:
Morning session: 09h00 – 12h00
Afternoon session: 13h00 – 17h00
Note: There is limited space available for each session.
How the Event Will Work
Our students’ CVs and work portfolios will be accessible to all attending organisations prior to the event. This will allow you to get to know each student and their specific competencies in order to identify students you would like to further engage
with at the event.
Each attending organisation will be allocated 20 minutes to present themselves. As soon as we
have an indication of the number of organisations that will join us, a schedule will be drawn up
and forwarded to each company. You are free to use your presentation time as you see fit, but
here are some suggestions on what you could include:
• A short intro/background on your company.
• Your mission/vision.
• Projects that your company is involved in.
• The type of students you are looking to recruit, e.g., bachelor’s degree or diploma.
• What it’s like to intern/work at your company.
• What your company culture is like.
• Opportunities for growth and development at your company.
After each organisation has presented themselves, we will have a one-hour contact session to allow each organisation to meaningfully engage with small groups of our students. Each company will be provided with an exhibition space with a table and chairs to do this from.
NB: Our student body comprises both face-to-face and online students.
We request that each company elect an online representative to engage with our online students during this time. This representative can engage with our students from the comfort of their own office.
First Impressions Last!
Make sure you stand out from the rest of your peers by showing off your skills and your character.
Don’t Forget to set up your display card that will be shown on the career day website.
Student Information
If you have been identified by faculty and have been invited to attend, it is fantastic opportunity for you to showcase yourself and your competencies to a number of potential employers.
You will need to provide us with a CV website which the organisations will be able to access. We encourage you to design a website that not only showcases your skills, but also makes a visual impression and helps you stand out. Not only will this serve as your online CV, but as your portfolio of work too!
Your CV website will be linked on the Career Day website to allow the different organisations to get to know you before the actual event. You will also need to upload a professional picture of yourself together with a business card, which you can create using our online business card editor. You will receive a link later this week where you can log in and upload your website and a professional picture, and create your own business card.
