EAE MADRID AT AULA 2024: A GUIDE FOR THE FUTURE

At EAE Madrid, learning is just part of the degree experience. With this in mind, we took part in AULA ’24, an annual event that gives support to students in the different areas, providing guidance to plan the road ahead in terms of their learning and professional lives. An ecosystem of opportunities that brings together universities, schools, companies and professionals in a single space, the event is aimed at fourth-year high school and above, giving them some orientation and advice at this critical time of their lives.

The second year of the High School Baccalaureate can be a time of great uncertainty for students with respect to planning their future. Therefore, it is crucial to give them access to the maximum possible number of resources to make the right decision. While virtual formats might offer some advantages, the added value of an on-site event in terms of networking is hugely beneficial.

Over the last few years, AULA has become a particularly representative event for education, consolidating its status as a leading fair in the sector. Every edition, the IFEMA Congress Center becomes a meeting point for students, education professionals and academic institutions, including business schools such as EAE Madrid.

Over the course of the event, attendees can take part in information activities and practical workshops, giving students the chance to interact directly with representatives from schools and other professionals.

What do you need to know about EAE Madrid at AULA '24?

One of the statistics that best defines EAE Madrid is that 55% of its  students in 2021 found professional opportunities before graduating, and 44% soon after graduation.

In view of the severe scarcity of talent, some of the factors that drive the School are the shift towards automation, digitization and the green transition. 9% of students at EAE Madrid  have achieved a Triple Jump Career Change (changing area, sector and even country - 2021).

Moreover, any students interested in entrepreneurship should remember that, in 2021, of the 154 projects that took part in our EAE Entrepreneur program, 9% launched their initiatives onto the market. In addition, the startups accelerated in our EAE Investor program raised financing of 11 million euros over the last two years. As a result of our success in this area, becoming an entrepreneur as a short-term professional goal grew in popularity from being the preferred option of 7% of our students in 2017/18 to become the top choice of 17% of our students in the last academic year.

AULA at the IFEMA: Where to start?

Once they have registered, students are given a map of the event on which they can plan which workshops, talks and discussion panels they are most interested in. To make the most of the experience, it important to check over the program in advance and raise any queries with the IFEMA staff.

Moreover, it is crucial to take advantage of the opportunities that this type of event offers in terms of making new connections and networking. Sharing doubts and expectations with other students and visitors can be a great source of support for making the optimal decision.

Where will we be?

EAE Madrid will have a stand in Pavilion 3 of the IFEMA, where we will have all kinds of resources to help you get to know every corner of the School, as well as the incredible variety of the learning experience we offer. Our advisors will be on hand to help you clear up any queries or concerns that students may have with respect to ensuring that they have an enriching experience.

We look forward to seeing you there!
