600 students to visit Katrinebjerg Karrieredag

This year is the fourth time Katrinebjerg Karrieredag – or Kdag as the career fair is also called – will take place at IT City Katrinebjerg. The career fair has grown more and more popular each year among both students and companies. 

Katrinebjerg Karrieredag is aimed at students from Aarhus University, looking for jobs in the rapidly growing Danish IT industry, which is experiencing an increased demand for labor. Throughout the day,about 600 students from a wide range of study programs at Aarhus University are expected to visit the fair. Thus, “Kdag” is a good opportunity for companies and students to meet.

A survey made by the trade organization “IT Branchen” (2016) shows that 42 percent of Danish companies are having difficulties filling IT specialist positions. A deficiency which in 2015 forced every third IT company to give up in recruiting labor to fill IT jobs.
