The Kariera was introduced in 2006 in the capital of the actual EU Presidency country, Ljubljana. Initially focused merely on the employment market, a survey stated visitors were strongly interested in educational programmes abroad, mainly Undergraduate degrees, and Masters, MBA and language courses. The Slovenian market, due to its size and historical background, offers little options to career oriented individuals looking for further opportunities. As a consequence, such turned themselves to the Western European countries in order to seek such knowledge.

Following this line of thoughts and taking into account the wish of the visitors, the event expanded its coverage and now reserves half of its 5000 m2 exhibition space to high quality Educational providers.

A strong marketing plan is in place and more than 250,000 euros will be spent in order to promote the event in diverse means of communication such as in national publications (leading national newspapers and magazines), in flyers, billboards, on the Internet and the whole event will be also covered and publicised by the national television. To complement this, a promotional campaign will be held in Universities and High Schools of the main cities around the country.

With more than 14,000 visitors and 120 exhibitors in just two days event in 2008, Kariera 2009 can only expect to be successful once again!

'I have met quite a good group of prospective MBA candidates with whom I had good chats regarding an MBA abroad.'
