Luiss Career Day
Luiss Career Day is one of the premier events for university recruiting: two days, over 160 companies and law firms, and 2,000 master's students, recent graduates, and master's program participants. Over 12,000 interviews in 48 hours.
The format is designed to facilitate highly qualified meetings between companies and candidates.
In 2025, Luiss Career Day took another step forward, making its debut in Milan: 28 selected companies and 100 master's students chosen according to the same rigorous criteria, all in the heart of Italy's economic capital. A clear signal of direction: Luiss brings its talent wherever companies operate, in Italy and around the world.
A calendar of events for every sector and profile
The Career Day in May is the main event, but the Luiss recruiting system features a calendar that spans every month of the year. It includes vertical events, tailored to specific sectors and types of organizations, designed to foster deeper dialogue between employers and students with specific profiles who are already focused on their career paths.
The Banking & Finance Days are three days dedicated exclusively to the world of finance: Italian and international investment banks, private equity funds, asset management companies, and boutique firms in the sector meet students and recent graduates in a format featuring career insights, recruiting sessions, and one-on-one career guidance with top-level HR professionals and bankers. A specialized setting that enables vertical dialogue and speeds up the selection process. When: September, annually.
The Career Day for Social Impact is an event dedicated to organizations that create social value: NGOs, non-profit entities, public institutions, and international organizations – from IDLO to the Carabinieri, and from UN agencies to leading international humanitarian organizations. A dedicated recruiting channel for institutions and the third sector, bringing employers to campus who are hard to reach through traditional channels. When: March, annually.
The Luiss Brussels Days bring the Career Service right to the heart of the European institutions. Two days of recruiting and career guidance in Brussels, hosted at the Confindustria headquarters, where representatives from EU institutions, international organizations, think tanks, NGOs, international law firms, and corporate entities operating in Belgium meet with Luiss students and graduates. For the organizations attending, this is an opportunity to identify individuals with a solid background in political science, European law, and international management—people who can operate more effectively in complex institutional settings.
The Best Employer Award
Each November, Career Day participants vote for the companies that provided the best meeting experience, the most helpful career advice, and the most tangible opportunities. The Best Employer Award—now in its second edition in 2025, with 33 companies awarded out of over 70 present—is a direct indicator of how Luiss students perceive and evaluate their potential employers.
Participating in and winning this award is an increasingly important employer branding asset among top graduates.
