Factor took part in the UPV Employment Forum, strengthening the university-business connection
A space for connecting with students and graduates through a practical approach to key topics such as interviews, CVs and professional positioning
Once again, Factor took part in the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) Employment Forum, alongside FEMEVAL, an initiative aimed at strengthening connections between the academic and business worlds.
During the event, the Factor team -made up of Ana Mª Sánchez Escribano, Director of People at Factor, and Marina Coloma Gil, an intern at the company- had the opportunity to engage directly with students and recent graduates, sharing insights into how the company operates, the professional profiles currently in demand and the key aspects involved in entering today’s job market.
This year’s edition also included practical employability-focused activities such as mock interviews (Interview Lab), CV reviews and digital footprint analysis, allowing participants to work on key aspects of their professional positioning with the guidance of experienced professionals.
As Ana Mª Sánchez Escribano points out, “these kinds of practical dynamics allow students to face real-life situations and better understand how to approach their transition into the labour market”.
The Forum represents a particularly valuable opportunity to create a genuine first point of contact between universities and companies, encouraging mutual understanding and helping future professionals better shape their career paths.
Beyond technical training, initiatives like this help participants develop increasingly important skills, such as communication, professional presentation and the ability to navigate recruitment processes.
Participation in initiatives of this kind forms part of Factor’s commitment to strengthening the university–business connection and contributing to talent development.
At Factor, we would like to thank the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), FEMEVAL and all the organisations involved for promoting initiatives that bring the professional world closer to students and support their entry into the labour market.
