Through BKI ITS 47, students were able to gain a broader perspective on possible career paths based on their skills and interests.

In addition to company booths, BKI ITS 47 also featured several supporting programs.

This program could help students better understand industry expectations before deciding on the career direction they wish to pursue.

Participants could also make use of the ITS Job Portal to access information on available job vacancies. Through this platform, job seekers could explore various positions while also reviewing the qualifications required by each company.

Beyond employment opportunities, BKI ITS 47 also provided information on other self-development pathways.

Through this platform, participants could continue exploring job opportunities from partner companies even after the main offline event had concluded.

The organization of BKI ITS 47 provided FTEIC students with an opportunity to become more familiar with the needs of the professional world while still in university.
