Besturenmarkt Tilburg University

Nowadays, in addition to studying, many students work on a well-filled CV. The possibilities for gaining practical experience are endless. Think for example of committees, internships or a year of management. Today, the ‘board’ market takes place at Tilburg University. Are you hesitating to gain additional practical experience in addition to your studies? Then stop by today between 15:00 and 17:00 hours in the Foyer of building D on the campus.

Current active board members are present from Fraction Front, Fraction Sam, Unipartners Tilburg, Asset, MAK, Integrand Tilburg, FOSST and AIESEC. They can tell you everything you need to know about a year like this and what exactly your tasks are. In addition to serious work, there is also plenty of time for socializing and fun activities.

5 reasons to visit us today and consider a year of management:

1.           Developing leadership and responsibility

During a year of management, you bear a lot of responsibility in an organization. You often have to work in a team where someone also has to be the leader to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Besides, you need to plan, manage colleagues, devise strategies and organize events. By carrying out various tasks, you will learn how things work in the business world.

2.           Improving communication skills

During meetings, you often have to present and defend ideas and as the face of an organization, you are busy pitching the services you offer, for example to companies or sponsors. You also learn a lot from giving and receiving feedback. These communication skills are important in the job market.

3.           Discover where your qualities and interests lie

Many students don't know which direction they want to go in later and what exactly they like. A year of government can certainly help you with this. During your studies, you mainly focus on theory, while you also need to know how things work in practice. Also, during a year of administration, you will not only be concerned with your field of work, but you will also be familiar with other facets.

4.           The opportunity to broaden your social and international knowledge

During a board year, you get to know many different kinds of people. People from different backgrounds, different interests, and different studies. By working with all these people in a team, your knowledge of people grows. Besides, you also learn how to approach people and how to deal with different personalities. This is very useful for later in the field. Many companies are now internationally oriented.

5.           The best year of your student life!

Almost all adults always say that student time is the best time of your life. During a board year, we work hard, but you also do a lot of fun and enjoyable things. Think about getting to know new people, activities, trips, congresses, and drinks.

Do you have any questions or are you interested? Be sure to visit us at the end of the afternoon. Some students would like to explain everything to you and who can answer your questions.
