Together with the departments, Rietveld and Sandberg organise a series of monthly lectures to prepare students and recent graduates for professional practice after their studies. By inviting both experts and alums, the series aims to give participants a clearer idea of what professional practice they aspire to and what their first steps will be after graduation.
The programme is open to Rietveld and Sandberg students as well as alums who have recently (less than 5 years ago) graduated.
The monthly programme starts at 17:15 hrs and is followed by a communal meal prepared by the Rietveld Canteen to discuss the topic further and connect with each other. (Note: participants pay for their own meal, we pay for a drink).
