On November 21st, second-year MBE graduation students came together with companies looking for graduation interns for the first ever BOSS Graduation Market , an exciting new event designed to connect students writing their final thesis with industry practice. This first edition was a huge success, featuring companies such as Aestate, AT Osborne, Ballast Nedam, Brink, DEV_real estate, Heijmans, Local, Resi, Sens and Vkz. Over 40 students and 10 companies participated!
The event started with focused one-on-one sessions , where students were matched with companies based on their submitted master thesis research questions. These sessions, organized into five quick 10-minute rounds, offered both students and companies a chance to find the perfect match. Afterward, companies introduced themselves through brief presentations, sharing their key focus areas and flagship projects, giving students a clear view of potential pathways and collaborations.
The day concluded with a network drink, where attendees had the chance to connect with their top choices, or engage with companies they hadn't spoken to earlier. The informal setting created the perfect environment to build further on the open questions or the possibilities to find a graduation internship.
The BOSS Graduation Market was an undeniable success! Students gained valuable exposure to the professional world, while companies tapped into fresh, innovative talent. A huge thank you to all the participating students and especially to the companies for making this new event possible. The BOSS Graduation Market was a great success, and for the students who are looking for a graduation internship and the companies that have a place for an internship, we hope to see you at the next edition!
