Around twenty companies and organisations will be set up on the terrace outside the centre, between the “Joan Reglà” Library of Humanities and outside the Faculty cafeteria, where they will remain from 11:30 to 14:00, to meet and make contact with highly qualified profiles, to position themselves as organisations that seek and value talent, and to identify themselves as organisations committed to social development. Among the participating companies and organisations, the Forum of Geography and History will have the Fundació València Activa, LABORA-GVA, and the Archivists and Document Managers Associations (Asociación de Archiveros y Gestores de Documentos Valencianos), as well as professional associations, centres for the preparation of competitive examinations, research chairs and trade union organisations.
