Promoting activities and events aimed at career development in a professional environment for recruitment, learning or networking purposes. These are our Careers & Talent Ambassadors par excellence.
Professional Student Clubs are a vital part of the academic experience at our faculty. Groups of students, both bachelor’s degree and master's degree students, set up clubs in their areas of interest with the aim of developing skills, through events or activities that promote the creation of contact networks between CATÓLICA-LISBON students and the business world.
The clubs are responsible for a series of events, such as seminars and conferences with well-known speakers and open days at different companies. The clubs are supported by the Careers & Talent Office and can also work on specific projects with other university departments or centers of knowledge.
Participation in one of these clubs is a mini professional experience in itself, in an atmosphere where team spirit and resilience are key, challenging students and putting their ability to deal with the “real world” to the test. It is undoubtedly a very enriching and fun experience!
