The Universitat de València has holded the Health Sciences Employment and Entrepreneurship Forum at the Blasco Ibáñez Campus on 3rd March. Around 30 companies and entities had their stands in the hall of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. This Faculty hosted the academic activity too throughout the morning.
Organised by the Office of the Vice-principal for Employment and Training Programmes, through UVjob, the Health Sciences Forum also had the participation of four faculties: Nursing and Podiatry, Psychology and Speech Therapy, Medicine and Dentistry, and Physiotherapy.
Professional associations, associations, public and private companies, administrations, NGOs, hospitals..., all of them organisations from the health sector, came together at a meeting that aims to make specialised university talent available to the labour market, emerging from studies in Nursing, Podiatry, Psychology, Speech Therapy, Medicine, Dentistry and Physiotherapy, as well as postgraduate and master's degrees with more than fifteen qualifications.
Thus, the Universitat de València's job fair facilitated personal contact between companies/entities/institutions and students in order to promote highly qualified employment in the Health Sciences world.
