Career & Development Days
Maastricht University School of Business and Economics (SBE) is far more than an educational institution: we emphasise the value of partnerships, networking and Problem-Based Learning to connect our students to the practising business world. The Career & Development Days is a two-day event designed to engage in activities that promote opportunities for personal and professional development, to connect businesses and organisations with our students. No classes are held during the event to ensure students can attend.

Business partner reviews
Chris Fenning
"I joined the CDDs to help future graduates gain critical skills right at the start of their careers. The event was well organised and the students turned up eager to engage and ask questions. I learned a few things from the students as they made me consider my material from different perspectives. I look forward to supporting many more CDDs in the future!"
Dominique Jacobs, HRD Groep
“The students ask great questions and are eager to learn. For us, facilitating learning in such a relaxed and fun way always has us heading home with new energy. This and the warm welcome and smooth organisation also make the Career & Development Days one of our favorite events of the year.”
Raphael Teufel, Interworks
"The workshop provided students with a deeper understanding of data analytics and gave us the perfect opportunity to exchange insights with them. With four Maastricht University alumni working at our BI consultancy, we are happy to give back to our alma mater."
