Top Performer – highly qualified students
Since 2007, the three best students from each course (at the Faculty of Business and Management) have been entered in the SoWi-Holding’s Top Performer Pool. The Top Performers represent a pre-selection of highly qualified students whose achievements go beyond the requirements of their specific field of study. Top Performers distinguish themselves from their fellow students both in terms of subject matter and in terms of communication and are therefore sought-after dialogue partners among the participating exhibitors.
The CAREER & Competence is strongly advertised to this target group. As a premium partner, you also have the chance to get in direct contact via the SoWi-Holding’s Top Performer Newsletter.
About the career fair visitors
In 2016, 1968 students, graduates and (young) professionals attended the 9th CAREER & Competence. Of the visitors, 25% were graduates / young professionals and 75% students, 40% of whom were to graduate in less than a semester. Through targeted marketing measures, the proportion of STEM students / graduates has increased to almost 30% in recent years, which has helped to meet the great demand for skilled workers in these areas. Present your company as an attractive employer to your target group and get to know qualified and well-prepared future employees.
Marketing and media cooperation
The CAREER & Competence is advertised at university sites in Tyrol with several flyer campaigns, focussing on the SoWi (social and economic faculties), the technology campus and the main university location. This ensures that there is a fair balance between the fields of study of the visitors at the fair. These measures are accompanied by the placement of some 100 posters at the universities and other student hotspots. In addition, from one month before the fair C&C is present at all important university campuses with mobile 16/1 sheet billboards.
In addition, all students at the University of Innsbruck are informed several times via newsletter about the CAREER & Competence and a separate Top Performer Newsletter is sent to a selection of highly qualified students. Additionally to these direct channels, numerous online marketing measures are set up and the advertisement of the fair via Facebook plays a special role in the process.
Through numerous successful cooperations with student organisations (e.g. AIESEC, Club Alpbach, GLOBART …) the fair can be advertised to specific target groups.
Media cooperation with basics. Media
With the newspaper basics. the CAREER & Competence has a strong partner which has a circulation of 243,000 copies delivered to every household in Tyrol every two weeks. One of the main topics in the journal is careers (and job offers), which is why the articles on C&C published there are particularly effective.
As early as 9 months before the fair, editorial contributions on the fair are published in regular intervals. In the intensive advertisement phase, short editorial profiles of the exhibitors are published and highlights of the fair are features. Depending on the media package, you have the opportunity to position your company here as an attractive employer.
