Parma, 3 November 2026 – The University of Parma Job Day 2026 will take place on Wednesday, 11 November. This annual autumn career event, dedicated to career guidance and networking with employers, will once again be hosted at the Parma Exhibition Centre (Fiere di Parma) from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The Job Day is promoted and organized by the University to facilitate the match between employers seeking talent and undergraduate students, postgraduate students, recent graduates, and graduates from all academic disciplines. The event also aims to strengthen mutual understanding between the world of higher education and the labour market.
The 2026 edition was presented this morning at the ParmaUniverCity Info Point by Rector Paolo Martelli, Vice Rector for Student Rights and Services Isotta Piazza, and Delegate for Internships and Job Placement Marco Ieva.
More than 170 companies and institutional organizations will take part in Job Day 2026. As in previous years, the event will be preceded by a series of preparatory meetings focused on CV writing, as well as company presentation webinars organized in collaboration with some of the participating employers.
The event is open to a broad audience of young people from all degree programmes and all 10 Departments of the University of Parma. Through dedicated exhibition stands, students and graduates will have the opportunity to meet HR representatives and recruiters from participating organizations for introductory interviews and networking opportunities.
The event will officially open at 9:00 a.m. with the ribbon-cutting ceremony and welcome address from the Rector, followed immediately by the opening of the company and organization stands.
To encourage participation, classes will be suspended on 11 November for students in the final year of all Bachelor's degree programmes and the final two years of all Master's degree and single-cycle Master's degree programmes.
To facilitate access to the venue, free shuttle buses will operate between the University campuses and the Parma Exhibition Centre. All buses will depart from the Science and Technology Campus, stopping at Via Volturno, Piazzale S. Croce, Viale Mariotti (Ghiaia), and the Railway Station, before arriving at Hall 7 of Fiere di Parma. Return journeys will follow the same route in reverse.
It is also important to note that participation in Job Day can take place through the AlmaLaurea M.I.T.O. platform. This platform enables participating employers to create and manage their profiles, collect applications, and connect with candidates even before 11 November. At the same time, students and graduates can submit their CVs in advance and apply online for positions already advertised by participating HR departments in the weeks leading up to the event.
