Career Month Junior

Sefa’s Career Month Junior (CMJ) is designed to support first- and second-year students as they explore the different study tracks offered within the Economics & Business Economics and Business Administration Bachelor’s programs.

The event gives students their first opportunity to connect with future employers and gain insight into career paths in Business, Accountancy, Finance, and Economics. Through company presentations, interactive cases, and informal networking moments, students get a hands-on understanding of what different fields in the business world really look like.

The Career Month Junior Committee is responsible for organizing four themed days – each focused on one of the academic tracks. Committee members invite leading companies from each sector to present, host a case session, and engage with students over drinks at the end of the day. It’s up to the committee to bring it all together and make the event a success.

What can I learn as a committee member?

Being part of the Career Month Junior committee is the perfect way to gain your first professional experience within Sefa. You’ll develop valuable skills in communication, teamwork, and event planning, while also learning how to acquire companies, manage a budget, draft contracts, and promote events.

As a Bronze-level committee, CMJ is ideal for students with little or no experience. You’ll be guided by an experienced Sefa supervisor and supported by the Sefa Board, giving you the space to learn quickly, grow confidently, and represent Sefa professionally to high-profile companies.

Testimonial

“Joining Sefa and the Career Month Junior (CMJ) committee was honestly one of the best decisions I made when I started at UvA.

I joined as an Acquisition Officer right at the beginning of my studies and learned so much about networking, leadership, and working in a team. It really boosted my confidence and helped me grow both personally and professionally.

On top of that, I met some amazing people through CMJ—many of whom have become close friends. I’m genuinely grateful for the experience and would definitely recommend it to any student looking to get involved and make the most of their time at university.”
