Committee of Recommendation

Prof. Dr. Ir. Tom Veldkamp
Rector Magnificus University of Twente
“Perhaps you've already mapped out your career path. You may know that after graduation, you want to work for a large tech company or in government, or perhaps you aspire to be your own boss or become a scientist. Perhaps, you might still be keeping your options open. In any case, Business Days Twente can assist you in making informed decisions. It provides the best opportunity to connect with potential employers!”
Vinod Subramaniam
President executive board University of Twente
“If you’re still in the process of exploring what sort of job you want after you graduate, you probably would like to have a good look at each company you’re interested in - experience the atmosphere, discover the company culture, get to know the type of people working there. OK, you’ve already checked a website, a brochure, or maybe an annual report. But in order to prepare yourself really well, you’d like to speak to the people and get to know what makes them enthusiastic about their workplace. That is exactly what Business Days Twente are for! Who knows, you could discover companies that aren’t yet on your list. Make use of the opportunities for real contact!”
Roelof Bleker

Innovation thrives here in Overijssel, from the latest generation of microchips to groundbreaking medical technology.
