Join the Project Group for SUS Career Days
During the spring of 2027, the Stockholm University Student Union (SUS) will launch the SUS Career Days, and we are now looking for engaged students who want to help shape the project from the ground up.
Stockholm University Student Union's vision is that the students' influence, participation and community during their time at the university create a world-class study environment. The mission of the Stockholm University Student Union is to promote the conditions for this at Stockholm University.
Through SUS Career Days, we aim to create a meeting place where students, employers, alumni, and other relevant stakeholders can connect to strengthen students’ opportunities for future working life. The Career Days will promote collaboration between the university and the labor market while providing students with inspiration, knowledge, and valuable professional contacts.
About the Role
SUS Career Days is a project designed to strengthen students’ connections with working life through a series of activities such as lectures, workshops, seminars, and networking events during several days. The project concludes with a career fair, where students have the opportunity to meet employers, organizations, and other representatives from the labor market.
The project group is responsible for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the event. The purpose of the assignment is to create a professional, relevant, and inspiring event that strengthens students’ connections with working life while contributing to a vibrant student experience at Stockholm University.

The Project Leaders lead the work of the project group, monitor progress, and ensure that the project develops in line with its objectives and SUS activities.
