Spark careers Accelerator already strengthened ties between more than 6,500 students and representatives of 120 companies since 2013. networking program takes place over two days
The list of papers pasted on the walls adds qualities of their authors. Written in colored papers, the deeds are quantified and qualified: interturmas championships, directions of academic associations, backpacking trips to the back and volunteering, internships across the world. Anything goes when it comes to thinking about what to put in the curriculum, the first card Business a recent graduate looking for your first job opportunity.
He was thinking about his inexperience Miguel Gonçalves He decided to create the Spark in 2012. Doer inveterate, the Portuguese who became known by “beating grip” used in full program of RTP Pros and Cons, did the words action. It created a company that comes to facilitating the relationships between companies and the talent that potentially want to hire. “There are two historic markets:.. One, the economic sciences – economics, management, finance, management, accounting Another, that of engineering – electrical engineering, civil, computer, biomedical, bio-materials One of the most striking things in bootcamps is to end idea that companies do not want to be near the talent. (…) There is much what we call the ugly ducklings. they’re bright kids just that no one ever told them and therefore do not yet know they are good, or think they have many limitations, “says Miguel on the pitch bootcamp, one of the three event types organized by Spark
in just over three years, the Spark was able to present more than 6500 students. – some of the best university of the country and about to finish the courses – the representatives of more than 650 companies. The result of these actions was quantified:. The recruitment agency helped in hiring over 1,350 people
Miguel Gonçalves believes that, in addition to a good indicator, the result reflects a constant adaptation to market needs. “We realize that the market has a voracious appetite for engineering, management and economics but has been changing a lot lately. Now the consultants hired many people from civil engineering, mechanical, biomedical. Recruitment profiles are changing and adaptamo- in the which allows us to more market opening, also because it is important for us that there are results. the program is very driven by concrete and specific results, “he says.
the selection of the participating students is made by presentation of a value proposition. “We have preferred criteria such as origin of aslicenciaturas The large selection criterion is academic performance. – Notes -. But we also consider relevant the students who took Erasmus or have been associated with sports centers or other species and, of course, with a particular emphasis on finalists who soon will start the race and here have a chance to meet five, ten, 15, 20 companies which have preferential access.
John Rose Carvalho, director of Business Process outsourcing PT, participated for more than four years in the sessions – it began when the event had the previous format, which also included entrepreneurship and contact with students “This is a true networking.. I often say that the Spark and Miguel Gonçalves do more for young people in Portugal than many of the official bodies. He began to promote in a very embryonic form this contact that there is still very little: usually only when companies have specific needs to hire is going to job fairs. Lacked this glue between companies and young people directly for them to realize that even the latest options are options they can do whatever they think, “says the charge. The part in the event since the first editions, João Rosa de Carvalho believes that over 50 issues many things have changed.
“There are roughly five years, companies face the crisis that was installed, could afford the luxury of choosing the people who wanted to hire. Today, the market of high-performance talent, is no longer the case. In fact, what ends up happening is that, through the crisis, people began to realize that the market is not Portugal. The market has become Europe, the world.
So, we have become another possible point within the existing options. Today young people, especially the most talented and know what they want, they can choose the company where they work, “he details. And it can help break down prejudices.” It is true that companies are organized and they know what they need to begin to accompany the students in the first year of college, and began to realize exactly what is the profile of three, four or five years. “
