University Job Fairs

Den absolventov at University of Economics is organised twice a year, in spring and autumn. We attend this event regularly and are very happy to see that more and more students recognize Swiss Re as an employer of choice and as a stable, international company.

Dni prilezitosti in Bratislava is IAESTE-organised job fair focused on IT students and is regularly held in April. Our IT colleagues are always excited to discuss the most recent IT trends with you and how we apply them in the reinsurance business.

Students selected Swiss Re as one of the employers they would like to meet at Night of Chances. When taking part in this event you get a unique change to get to know Swiss Re in an interactive workshop. We enjoyed presenting our culture and sharing our views with curious students.

We are also active outside of Bratislava region. You can meet us at Univerzitny den kariery at UMB Banska Bystrica and at the AmCham Job Fair in Kosice.
