About this event
Young talent is one of the most precious commodities nowadays. The Beacon Community joined forces with University of Antwerp, SINC, Karel de Grote Hogeschool, BeCode, AP Hogeschool and A Seat At The Table (ASATT) to link young talent with ambitious and growing technology companies.
We'll invite students in their last year and recently graduated job seekers to our headquarters, where they will be able to meet with The Beacon Community Members. With a minimum effort, the latter will be able to put their company in the picture.
This event is focused on young potentials enrolled in an IT or similar technical study program (e.g. developers , multimedia...)

- Your founder could explain how he/she started the company
- Your CEO could give an overview of the company values, and how an average day at the job looks like
- Your HR manager could emphasize the soft skills and intangibles that are key for a successful career in a tech company
- Your CTO could dive into the details of the platforms, software and coding languages
