Develop your career

Initiatives supporting your path to employment and personal growth, providing guidance, training, and inspiration to help you achieve your goals.

Career Talks

We are strong believers in the importance of accompanying our Alumni throughout their careers by providing useful tools to effectively manage their professional growth and career choices.

It is with this objective in mind that we present the Professional Development initiatives organised by the Almae Matris Alumni Association and the Job Placement Unit of the Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna.

A series of free “Career Talks” seminars held by experienced Business Coaches and trainers who guide us through career topics such as choices for building or re-building one’s career, personal awareness and emotion management and much more.

Each event aims to support and guide professional development, providing practical tools and valuable advice to build a meaningful career path.

Events reserved for Alumni members of the Almae Matris Alumni Association. If you haven't already done so, join the AMA Community social platform for free.
