From 3 to 5 February, leading companies from the fashion and fragrance sectors visited the campus to meet and interview final-year Communication and Master’s students

From 3 to 5 February, IED Barcelona hosted three Recruitment Days for final-year students from the School of Communication and from its Master’s programmes.

Following a format of presentations and/or one-to-one interviews, conceived as in-person and/or online speed dating sessions, this year’s edition gave students the opportunity to connect with recruiters and representatives from four companies in the fashion and fragrance sectors – Badits, Maje, Encuentro and Ladder Consulting for Puig – and to present their portfolios.

For the companies, in turn, the initiative provided an ideal opportunity to meet in person some of the most promising emerging profiles from a new generation of design professionals, and to identify young talents who may join their teams and contribute to their growth and innovation in design.
