On 20 November, a group of more than 30 students from the University of Minho’s School of Engineering took part in an exclusive Open Day at Deloitte’s facilities in Braga. Students from various courses, such as Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Information Systems and Data Science, had the opportunity to get to know one of the world’s largest consultancy firms up close.
In the afternoon, the participants attended an informal talks session with four former students from the School of Engineering who are currently part of the Deloitte team. These professionals shared their experiences, talked about the challenges and opportunities of working for the company, and answered all the students’ questions.
The event emphasised the importance of teamwork and networking in developing careers in the technology and innovation sector. For many, it was also a unique opportunity to explore future collaboration possibilities with Deloitte, which continues to focus on recruiting young, qualified talent.
This initiative reinforces the School of Engineering’s commitment to providing practical experiences that connect its students with the labour market, fostering partnerships with leading companies in the sector.
