With this event, we offer computer science students (and all students of other subjects interested in IT or AI) the opportunity to establish contacts with potential employers and to obtain practical information and tips on career orientation and the application process. The speakers in the two discussion rounds will shed light on the topics of ‘AI and the labour market’ and ‘AI and ethics?’, but will also talk about what skills you really need for a job in IT (and whether they have acquired them during their studies or later on).
