On 26 October, Billund KarriereTour TECH was held, where almost 250 students from VIA Aarhus, VIA Horsens, SDU, Aarhus University, Business Academy Dania, EASV, Rybners, UCL and Business Academy Midwest visited 8 companies in Billund municipality.
On 9 November it was the experience industry's turn, when 250 students from Erhvervsakademi Aarhus, Erhvervsakademi Dania, UCL and Erhvervsakademi SydVest participated in Billund CareerTour TOURISM.
It was a fantastic few days, where interest and enthusiasm were constantly in the air - you could really feel the students' enthusiasm for their subject.
In the afternoon, everyone met at Billund Erhverv (TECH) and LEGO House (TOURISM), where a small hour of mini fair was planned, where the companies were represented with a stand, so that the students could clarify the last questions and make contact with possible future employers.
That's what the students say
Valdemar Sommer

"It was a really nice day. I got to talk to several of the companies here at the end, and got good ideas for future projects.”
Tippi Lyndrup

"It was super exciting to see the differences between the smaller companies' production apparatus and then LEGO, and then it was great to have a meeting here at the end, where you could talk to companies and other students."
Ahmad Ishmael
Production technologist – EAMV Herning
"It was an interesting tour around the various companies, and there was a lot of information - and it's pretty cool to talk to the companies at the end."

"It was great to feel that the companies were interested in it and really want us to come to them, and it was really great that there were a number of technical terms we could understand. And then it was nice to get a look behind the scenes"
Andreas V Knudsen
