Career Fairs

On Thursday 7 November 2024, the Berlin School of Business and Innovation hosted the GGG Autumn Careers Fair 2024 at its Berlin campus, in association with Gisma University of Applied Sciences and University of Europe for Applied Sciences. This is the fourth Careers Fair organised on behalf of GGG and the biggest one yet, with an estimated 900 students and alumni from BSBI, Gisma, and UE, along with 36 organisations in attendance.

During the event, students had the opportunity to meet with representatives from various industries such as banking, manufacturing, government and recruitment agencies, insurance, software, e-commerce, design, hospitality and others.

The entire BSBI Alte Post campus in Berlin was prepared for the event, during which students had the chance to attend individual company presentations, receive CV assistance, participate in mock interviews and have professional photos taken. BSBI, Gisma and UE’s Careers Service teams provided a complete and enriching employability experience to the Fair participants.

After the main event, the visiting organisations and the hosts took part in a professional networking session at the nearby Mitosis Lab where they shared their experiences, feedback and discussed avenues for prospective cooperation.

The next edition of the GGG Summer Fair will take place at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences in June 2025.
