About

Since 2007 Top Talents is the largest student competition in Romania. 1100 of the best students and fresh graduates compete in a tough selection process for a place in the final. The selection process includes motivation, CV scoring for international experience, extracurricular activities, academic results and logical and numerical tests. At the end 250 students are selected from a pool of 1100 top applicants.

They all participate in a two days event where they have the chance to meet international speakers, CEOs and TOP Managers from companies which have talent high on their agenda. In the two days of the event they attend leadership and development conferences, case studies, business simulations and workshops. The event includes a networking space for them to meet employers and discuss about career opportunities, such as internships, trainee and management trainee programs.

See you in November 22nd – 23rd 2019 for our next edition.
