Career Advisers
WHO ARE THE CAREER ADVISERS
Career Advisers support students in identifying career paths that best match their inclinations and talents and provide them with the tools and skills to create action plans for achieving their career goals.
Career Adviser supported courses are preparatory to curricular training, but do not guarantee preferential access to internship positions. Internship proposals are reported by Career Advisers through a weekly newsletter or are found independently by trainees on the recommended platforms.
