"Tor Vergata" calls Business...with two yearly Career Days: “Tor Vergata” holds two important events a year in order for the professional workplace and University students and graduates to meet. They are the University-Work Forum organised by Alitur, i.e. an Association of former Engineering students, and Campus&Leaders&Talents set up by Desk Imprese and Associazione Laureati Economia Tor Vergata - Alet (Association of Tor Vergata Economics Graduates). These two events are held each year respectively in April and October, and have become a reference point for companies seeking talent. The success of both initiatives is proven by the growing number of businesses and students attending such career days every year.
