ABOUT
The VTK Jobfair is the largest recruitment fair for engineers in the BeNeLux. It is an open-house fair where engineering students from all around Leuven come to explore the job market in their domain and meet their future employer. Apart from the students
of the Faculty of Engineering Science, we also welcome a lot of industrial,
economic and bioengineering students, making the VTK Jobfair the best place
to meet engineering profiles from KU Leuven and its surroundings.
The concept with the name VTK Jobfair was introduced in the academic year 2007-2008, making this the 18th edition. The edition back then had 44 attending companies, and was held in the Provinciehuis Leuven. Now, 18 years later, our Jobfair welcomes almost 200 companies and 2500 students at the Brabanthal in Heverlee. Each year new improvements are made, such as the large bar-and-lounge tent we introduced in the 2023-2024 edition.
The VTK Jobfair is organized by VTK Career (Corporate Relations), a team of 8 highly motivated engineering students who are dedicating their time and skills to connect students and companies.
Of course, an event such as the Jobfair can not be built and ran with just 8 people. All of the 92 volunteer students at VTK help in making this the best Jobfair your company has ever experienced.
COMPANY GUIDE
The VTK Jobfair Company Guide is a printed book that contains information about all the attending companies at the Jobfair. Each company receives half a page with standardized information in the Company Guide when attending the event. Additional pages are included in the Jobfair Package or can be bought as a standalone product. A Jobfair Package includes a full page of standardised company information followed by a full page containing a PDF advertorial the company delivers.
Students have the opportunity to take a printed Company Guide at the reception desk, or can choose to scan a QR-code to download the full PDF version online.

MATCHING SOFTWARE
The Matching Software is a tool that was introducted a couple of years ago to help students find companies that match with their job expectations.
Companies and students fill out a similar form, and based on their answers, a match is generated.
The matches are uploaded and students can check their matched companies before attending the Jobfair to scope out some new potentional employers to visit at the event.
Companies can view their matched students and contact them after the Jobfair.
The Matching software is available for all companies to fill in, although only the companies that opted for a Jobfair Package will see their matched students
