The University of Valencia, through the ADEIT Foundation and its UVemployment service, has initiated the schedule of employability activities for the 2025-2026 course with the holding of the Food Employment Forum, Pharmacy and Optics, the first of the meetings scheduled for this academic year, in which the University of Valencia Science Park (PCUV) and AgrotecUV, the high-tech incubator specialized in sustainable agri-food, have participated
The Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences has hosted this conference, which has brought together students, companies and organizations to promote the development of professional opportunities.
The forum has started with several simultaneous round tables, where professionals from different fields have shared a global vision of job opportunities and development opportunities offered by the degrees of Pharmacy, Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Food Science and Technology, Gastronomic Sciences and Optics and Optometry. These spaces have enabled the student to learn first-hand about the most in demand profiles, trends in the sector and possible training and career paths.
Subsequently, the UVemployment team has run two practical workshops aimed at improving the employability of students. The first has focused on curriculum development and personal branding, with guidelines for building an effective professional presentation; and the second has been oriented towards training through roleplaying, with activities designed to practice interviews and selection dynamics in a guided environment.
