Participate in the IAC 2024 Career Opportunity Forum! Are you a student or a young professional attending the upcoming International Astronautical Congress in Milan? Then apply to participate in the IAC 2024 Career Opportunity Forum! The International Astronautical Congress (IAC) provides an excellent mechanism for students, young professionals and those seeking career opportunities to explore the global space community and its constituent organizations. With approximately one third of IAC attendees being young professionals, it is already a staging event for various organizations to offer initiatives, events, or services with space as the unifying theme. The forum will directly connect jobseekers with prospective employers. While IAC is already an outstanding place to make connections, this Forum aims to create a dedicated space to assist and inform independent organizational recruitment mechanisms whilst supporting candidates in identifying and exploring career opportunities. The IAC 2024 Career Opportunity Forum will be organized in the frame of the IAC Industry Day, Tuesday 15 October 2024 from 14:45 to 17:45 CEST.
