Juristeilla on monenlaisia urapolkuja, eikä työ isossa asianajotoimistossa kuulosta parhaalta kaikkien korvaan. Yrittäjäksi ryhtyminen onkin varteenotettava uravaihtoehto. Tule siis kuuntelemaan ja keskustelemaan, miten oikeustieteen opiskelijat ja vastavalmistuneet voivat hyödyntää osaamistaan startup-skenessä ja yritysmaailmassa! Vieraana tilaisuudessa on neljä kiinnostavaa oikeustieteen asiantuntijaa, jotka päättivät valmistumisen jälkeen tehdä omannäköisen urapolun startup-yrittäjinä. Tapahtuma sisältää vierailevien yrittäjien puheenvuorot urapoluistaan, yhteiskeskustelua sekä virvokkeita ja naposteltavaa hyvässä seurassa. Puhujina tapahtumassa ovat Bär Barin perustaja Jasmiina Vilpponen, Riitaturva Oy:n CEO Päivi Riutta, Fondian perustajajäsen Timo Lappi ja Vapauden Lead Legal Counsel Kasper Hannula. Paikka: Helsinki Think Company, Yliopistonkatu 4, toinen kerros. Aika: tiistaina 10.12. klo 16.30-18.30. Miten mukaan? Ilmoittaudu mukaan ilmaiseksi linkistä. Tapahtuma on kaikille, jotka ovat kiinnostuneita uramahdollisuuksista yritysmaailmassa. Tervetuloa oppimaan ja keskustelemaan yrittäjyydestä!
