The Higher Technical School of Engineering (ETSI) of the University of Seville (US) celebrated on April 30 the nineteenth edition of the Meeting on Engineering and Employment (ESIEM) 2022, an annual event held since 2003, with the aim of bringing students closer to the companies that usually demand the undergraduate and master's degree profiles that are trained at this center.

This meeting offers an exceptional framework for companies to get to know firsthand future engineers who meet the professional profiles they demand, as well as for students, who make a first contact with the working world that awaits them in the not too distant future. 

The event, which has returned to its in-person format after the worst years of the pandemic, has featured the traditional presentations by participating companies, as well as invited lectures on topics of interest to the students' professional future. 

ESIEM has become a benchmark among job fairs and events in the field of engineering at the national level, with over 1000 attendees. It is the perfect setting to begin the relationship between students in their final years of study or recent graduates of the various degrees taught at ETSI and the world of work, thanks to the job and internship opportunities offered by participating companies and the guidance they provide to future engineers.

The number of companies and organizations participating in this edition has reached a total of 28. The international nature of the event is evident in the participation of multinational companies such as Inerco, Airbus, TKE, Hitachi, and Schneider Electric, to name a few. Equally noteworthy is the presence of numerous national companies and institutions that have a significant economic impact on the region, both in terms of their business volume and the number of jobs they create, such as Emasesa, Accenture, Ayesa, and Idener.

As usual, there has also been participation from Professional Associations of Higher Engineering to which some of the Master's degrees taught at the Center qualify, as well as a delegation from the Ministry of Defense, which, as in previous editions, has been one of the biggest attractions for students.
