The Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) will hold its Employment Forum on May 6 and 7 at the Vera Campus, with the participation of 225 companies, a record figure surpassing any other institution in the country.

This event, which will run continuously from 10:00 to 18:00 in the Nexus Gardens of the campus, offers an extraordinary opportunity for Valencian companies. They will be able to create innovation spaces with large multinationals and attract the best profiles to continue boosting the region's competitiveness.

"The close and constant relationship between the university and the business fabric should not be understood solely as a mechanism to solve the employability of our young people. It is, above all, the fundamental engine for building a society richer in knowledge, more innovative and, ultimately, more competitive, sustainable and human."

According to the latest Employability Report from the UPV Employment Observatory, over 40% of its graduates find employment immediately after finishing their studies. This figure approaches 80% (78.73%) within a year, and reaches 92.94% after five years, demonstrating that the public education provided in the Valencian Community guarantees career success.
During the previous edition, held in 2025, the forum already demonstrated its strength by collecting over 41,000 CVs, with 95% of participating companies interested in repeating the experience. This year, the UPV breaks its own record, achieving 225 corporations participating in the event, which not only facilitates access to the labor market for its students but also revitalizes the entire local economy by attracting investment, knowledge, and opportunities.
To ensure that UPV candidates make the most of this encounter, the Integrated Employment Service (SIE) has organized preliminary activities on April 21, 22, and 23. These include CV reviews, digital footprint analysis, and interview workshops.
