The Higher Technical School of Engineering organizes the 21st edition of its Meeting on Engineering and Employment (ESIEM 2024)

The Higher Technical School of Engineering of the University of Seville, ETSi, held on March 20 the 21st Edition of the Meeting on Engineering and Employment (ESIEM) 2024 , an annual event held since 2003 with the aim of provoking a first rapprochement between the students and companies and institutions from the different fields of engineering.

This meeting, which is held in a science and innovation environment such as the Cartuja Science and Technology Park, offers an exceptional setting for companies to meet first-hand future engineers who meet the professional profiles they demand, as well as for the students. , which makes their first contact with the world of work that awaits them on a not-too-distant horizon.

In this edition, ESIEM has had the presence of more than 70 companies from the industrial field, as well as institutions that also require the incorporation of engineers to their staff . The international nature of the meeting is evident by the participation of multinationals such as Indra, Persán, Acciona, Cepsa, Acerinox, NTTData, Huawei, Cosentino, Airbus and many others ( https://www.esiem.es/expcon.php ). Likewise, the presence of numerous national companies and institutions that have a great economic impact on the region, both due to their volume of business and the numbers of job creation, stands out, such as Emasesa, Accenture, Ayesa, Elecnor or Idener, among others. Nor have institutions such as the Professional Associations, the Ministry of Defense, CATEC, CTA or the Andalucía Aerospace Cluster, among others, missed this annual event.

During the day, presentations and conferences of interest to students were held by companies , allowing for a closer connection between both; companies that need to incorporate new profiles and students into their ranks, who in the short term future will become in-demand professionals.

Due to its long history and with the characteristic of always being held in person, the Engineering and Employment Meeting, ESIEM, has become a benchmark among meetings and employment fairs within the framework of engineering at the national level , with participation of more than 3,000 attendees , being the perfect setting for the beginning of the relationship between students in the last years of their studies or recent graduates of the different degrees taught at the ETSI with the world of work, thanks to the offer of employment and internships. carried out by the participating companies and the guidance they provide to the future engineer.

The ETSi in figures

The Higher Technical School of Engineering of the University of Seville has more than 50 years of history since it was inaugurated with Industrial Engineering studies.

Throughout its history, it has been incorporating new qualifications, currently having 8 Bachelor's degrees (Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering, in Telecommunications Technology Engineering, in Aerospace Engineering, in Civil Engineering, in Chemical Engineering, in Industrial Organization Engineering, in Energy Engineering and in Electronic, Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering) as well as 11 university master's degrees . More than 6,000 students are currently studying one of the degrees, masters or doctoral programs taught at the ETSi .

According to data provided by the Engineering Observatory, in the next 10 years, the Spanish economy must ensure access to at least 200,000 new engineers.

This Meeting on Engineering and Employment represents an exceptional framework in which companies from the different fields of engineering agree to establish a first relationship with students who in the near future will be the professionals demanded by the market, and, at the same time, it represents for said young people's first contact with the world of work. Through this job fair, final year students have access to internship offers and training and employment programs offered by attending companies and institutions.
