The labour market is changing faster than ever before \u2013 and it is not only employers\u2019 needs that are evolving, but also the younger generation\u2019s attitudes towards work, careers and their professional future. What seemed obvious yesterday may already be just one of many \u201ccareer truths\u201d today. That is why SMK College of Applied Sciences invites students, employers and business representatives to the \u201cCareer (Un)truths\u201d debates \u2013 an open discussion about what is really happening in today\u2019s labour market, what both sides expect from one another, and what skills are needed to successfully enter the professional world.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

How is the labour market really changing? What skills are employers looking for today? And what does the younger generation expect from their future careers?<\/p>\r\n

These are some of the questions we will explore during the SMK \u201cCareer (Un)truths\u201d debates<\/strong>, bringing together students, employers and business representatives.<\/p>\r\n

This will not be a formal company presentation or a one-sided conversation. \u201cCareer (Un)truths\u201d is a live discussion where different perspectives meet.<\/strong> Employers will share their practical experience and talk about what they expect from young professionals, while students will have the opportunity to ask questions, share their perspectives and hear real insights from the labour market.<\/p>\r\n

During the debates, we will explore topics that often remain between the lines: which skills really matter when starting a career, how expectations meet during job interviews, how the relationship between employees and employers is changing, and which \u201ctruths\u201d about careers are worth keeping in mind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
