KNUDT JOB FAIR 2025: YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

The modern labor market demands not only a high level of professional training from young people but also flexibility, openness to new opportunities, and an active life position. That is why the KNUDT Job Fair has become an annual platform for effective dialogue between talented students and potential employers — representatives of leading Ukrainian companies, industry associations, government institutions, and business structures.

In 2025, we once again unite creative industries, tech companies, engineering fields, the chemical industry, the service sector, and humanities to create a unique space of opportunities for every student. The event not only offers a chance to find a dream job or internship but also helps to better understand market needs, develop self-presentation skills, and lay the foundation for a successful career.

We invite everyone — students, graduates, educators, employers, and all who are actively seeking new professional opportunities — to take part in the event. Don’t miss the chance to be part of an event that inspires, motivates, and opens new horizons!

Explore the detailed program and choose your platform for growth and inspiration. The future begins today — here, within the walls of Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design.
