Career Day and Alumni Meeting Event Held at IGU Faculty of Health Sciences

The Career Day and Alumni Meeting, organized by the Career Planning and Alumni Communication Committee of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Istanbul Gelişim University (IGU), was held on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at the Mehmet Akif Ersoy Conference Hall in J Block with strong participation.

Running from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, the event served as an important career platform, bringing together students and alumni of the Faculty of Health Sciences with leading representatives from the healthcare sector. A total of 18 institutions and organizations participated. With its notable sectoral diversity, the event allowed students to engage in one-on-one meetings and obtain detailed information about job and internship opportunities.

Throughout the event, organizations introduced their operational fields and human resources policies at their promotional stands, directly informing students about employment and internship opportunities. In addition to presentations, they provided personalized guidance on CV writing and interview techniques. Some institutions even accepted applications on-site, allowing students to complete the first step of their job application process. This gave students the opportunity to gain direct industry insights and experience critical for their transition into professional life.
A QR code system at the event venue allowed participants to digitally access the full event schedule, company information, and other relevant details. This digital feature enhanced the event’s functionality and helped participants manage their time more effectively.

The event provided a platform for students to integrate their academic knowledge with real-world insights and to develop concrete career plans before graduation.
