Business Club

Founded in 2019 by Gertjan Smekens, The Business Club is a spin-off of the Kring Der Economische, Politieke & Sociale Wetenschappen. The organization’s main goals are to bring businesses and students together and to ensure a smooth transition after graduation. To achieve these goals the organization wants to provide students guidance and knowledge by applying theory into practice. We’ve noticed that a lot of what is taught during school isn’t applicable on the real world and to close this gap we want to show students what companies are looking for. We aim to provide a stepping stone for the students to close the gap. 

The Business Club organizes different events that vary from workshops and lectures to a job fair and company visits. Throughout these activities we try to focus on the importance of learning new skills and gaining general knowledge. A good example is our Investment Club where students receive knowledge from financial market experts and are also enabled to apply that knowledge on a trading game.
