An ocean of opportunity
Your company is invited to participate actively in this year's Student Day to become better acquainted with curious students.

The challenges of the future require new perspectives and technology expertise. 'That's why we organise this meeting place to show tomorrow's employees the opportunities that exist in the industry,' says project manager for Bridgehead Aquaculture 2050 at NTNU Oceans, Alexandra Neyts.

The Student Day starts in the conference tent, where the students gather for a seminar about the industry. Here, those who have completed student assignments in collaboration with a company, or who already have a job in the industry, will share their experiences from an ever-growing and more professionalised industry.

It provides both inspiration and overview of what the industry can offer and the knowledge it needs now and in the future. The seminar lasts for one hour and afterwards it will be possible to visit stands, explains the project manager.

Student projects and presentations
At this year's Student Day, a thesis seminar is also planned. Here, exhibitors meet specialist teachers and student counsellors to discuss possible collaboration on student assignments and internships.

During the thesis seminar, companies that are interested will able to hear about new student assignments and join as a mentor or as a partner, says Ms Neyts.
