The Event
The International Careers Festival is a networking and meeting opportunity between brilliant young minds, institutions, companies, NGOs, and international organizations, whose 11th edition will take place from the 7th to the 10th of March 2020 within the beautiful framework of the city of Rome.
Guidance for an International Career - Simulations - Meetings with Industry Experts - Competitions with Thousands of International Students - Opportunities for a Successful Career - Honing Skills and Talent.
These are the key elements of the only event in Italy dedicated to YOUTH, EMPLOYMENT and INTERNATIONALIZATION.
The idea to create such a Festival was conceived by GIOVANI NEL MONDO, a non-profit association founded in Italy with the goal of promoting and favouring the interaction between the talent, ambition and brilliance of young people and the world of international opportunities. The Festival was born as an extension of the RomeMUN, first edition of which was launched in 2010. It is held every year with the support of such important institutions as the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies, the Representation in Italy of the European Commission, Roma Capitale, the Lazio Region and the UN agencies of FAO, IFAD and the World Food Program.
The Festival is composed of four main projects from which participants can choose the one most suited to their academic background, professional aspirations or general interest.
The four projects are:
