These companies actively seek UITM students and graduates for internships, full-time, or part-time positions, with a particular emphasis on those who possess fluency in foreign languages.

In today’s digital age, online networking platforms are indispensable tools for building connections. Platforms like LinkedIn provide a space for international students to connect with colleagues, join industry groups, and share their academic achievements and insights. Actively engage with these platforms by posting updates, commenting on relevant content, and sending personalized connection requests to professionals in your field. Make sure your online presence reflects your expertise and interests.
Engaging in networking events, whether in person or virtually, is a potent method for international students to broaden their professional connections. UITM actively supports students by facilitating participation in Hackathons, conferences, seminars, webinars, and meetups that match their interests. To make the most of these opportunities, students should prepare by researching the participants, crafting a concise introduction, and having a set of thoughtful questions ready to initiate conversations. Be open to both informal discussions and more structured networking activities to maximize the benefits of these interactions.
As an international student studying in Poland, building a strong professional network is a key step toward career success. It’s not just about who you know, but also about the quality of your relationships and the value you bring to them. By setting clear networking goals, leveraging online platforms, attending events, nurturing genuine relationships, seeking internships, giving back, and staying connected, you can create a network that not only helps you achieve your career goals but also enriches your international experience and professional life. Remember that networking is a continuous process that requires dedication, but the rewards are well worth the effort, especially for international students pursuing their dreams in a foreign country.
