IPC at the 14th annual Career Days exhibition
The 2008 Career Days fair was held at Háskólabíó theatre on Friday 1 February. This was the first time Iceland Prime Contractor participated in the careers fair, where over 30 companies presented their operations. The Career Days exhibition is designed to foster increased interaction between the educational community and the commercial and industrial sector so as to introduce university students to the many opportunities available to them at the conclusion of their studies. It is an excellent forum for students to acquaint themselves with the career opportunities that await them after graduation, to meet with representatives from the companies in the marketplace, and introduce themselves and their ideas, among other things.
Based on a model from abroad, Career Days was first held in the main building of the University of Iceland in 1995, with 34 companies participating. Ever since that time, Career Days has forged strong connections between the university community and the participating companies and their representatives. Numerous students have found career paths because of their Career Days experience, and many others have finished their final projects in collaboration with companies holding presentations at the Career Days fair.
