BOTH PROJECT AND HR SUMMIT
The youth is pushing the limits of their creativity as they are killing two birds with one stone. Izmir University of Economics Human Resources Club and Industrial Engineering Club joined hands. An interactive event was organized where students had a chance to present their projects and resumes to human resources staff, and entered job interviews of companies at Izmir and surroundings.
Izmir University of Economics, Department of Industrial Engineering and Industrial Systems Community organized their first project fair together. Senior students presented projects to company representatives that they prepared for companies. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Arslan Örnek, Head of Department of Industrial Engineering, said, “This organization intended to introduce the projects prepared by the department to companies at Izmir and its surroundings, and increase the ties with the industry. I would like to express my gratitude to clubs for turning this scientific organization into a festival.”

They also conducted job interviews with reference to resume screening they performed previously. The second guest company was Unilever. Students showed great interest to their presentation.
