1. UHasselt career week

Employees who feel they can be true to themselves, who are seen for who they are and who can grow - that's what the UHasselt Career Center is all about. A well-functioning university - delivering excellent research and education and actively contributing to the development of society - is only possible with motivated employees who are given opportunities to develop to the maximum. Self-insight is an important first step. To launch the Career Center, all UHasselt employees are cordially invited to participate in the career week, from January 16 to 20, 2023. Immerse yourself in career development opportunities and boost your career! Check the programme online and register before 11/01/23!
