Career Development

The Career Series are meetings promoted to allow H-FARM College Master’s Degree students to get in touch with some of the best companies operating in many industries.

They are presentations that take place in the classroom once a week during the academic year, during which the HR team presents the company, its values ​​and the most sought-after job positions. Events like these represent an opportunity for mutual knowledge and exchange of contacts.

The Challenges provide a perfect opportunity for students to challenge themselves with real business cases and to put into practice the theoretical notions acquired in the classroom. Starting from a challenge presented by a company, students work in teams to develop an original and unique response to the challenge, which is then presented through a final pitch that usually takes place at the company headquarters. An internal company jury decides which project best responds to the challenge in question and rewards the winning team.

The “Powered Challenge”, on the other hand, consists of a subsequent step, i.e. the actual implementation of the winning idea of ​​the challenge.
Once the project proposals have been received, the company will be able to decide whether to implement the idea internally or in H-FARM.

In this second case, the team of winning students, helped by professors and experts in the sector, works on the project’s implementation. Depending on the area of ​​expertise, this activity can be developed by Lumina, the consultancy agency of H-FARM College, or within the Entrepreneurship & Startup Center.

The Inspirational Talks are speeches given by external guests – usually entrepreneurs, managers or startuppers – and revolve around various topics such as innovation, creativity, business and sustainable development.

They represent, for students, an opportunity to be inspired, enrich their knowledge and deal with guests and top experts who work in different sectors. In some cases, students can have lunch with guests by participating in the so-called “Lunch Connect”.

Depending on the needs and opportunities that emerge during discussions with companies, the Career Service also organizes Open Innovation projects (workshops, project works and “hands-on” activities) involving students.
