Career Days

The main objective of the Career Days (CDs) is to raise awareness of the significance of food in modern life, and to demonstrate their relevance to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

2022
2023

Through the Career Days, EIT Food aims to:

  • Inspire and encourage young people to study a food-related discipline, bringing much needed human capital into the food system.
  • Promote the knowledge, skills, and attitudes in demand in the agri-food sector.
  • Showcase the exciting and meaningful opportunities in industries pioneering innovation in the sector. These range from careers in industry, further research at universities and research & training organisations, as well as creating start-ups and the corresponding EIT Food support and opportunities for young entrepreneurs.

Request for Contributors

As we look to the future of the food and agriculture industry, it's important to remember the power of representation and visibility. Children need role models and examples of successful people in fields they are interested in, in order to envision themselves pursuing similar paths.

To ensure that schoolchildren have the opportunity to see themselves represented and to be inspired to pursue their goals, EIT Food is currently accepting applications to host Career Days. This is an excellent opportunity to inspire the next generation of food and agricultre professionals and introduce them to the diverse career opportunities available in the industry.

Let's strive to create a more equitable and inclusive industry, where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
