Your career with AI starts here
Meet the companies shaping the future, learn the tools that get you hired, and hear from people who’ve already made the leap.
About
You’ve been told to “learn to code” or “study STEM,” but nobody’s shown you the full picture. AI is reshaping design, finance, healthcare, marketing, and just about every industry in between — and the people doing that work started exactly where you are. On June 12 at Cognizant in Amsterdam, you’ll go behind the scenes with leading companies, get hands-on support to be career ready, and hear directly from professionals who built careers you didn’t know existed yet.
Who is this for?
If you’re between 16 and 27 and AI has been on your mind in any way, you’re in the right place. This day was built for:
What to Expect
Your career is already being shaped by AI.
Are you?
Most students we talk to think AI careers mean one thing: software engineering. And if you’re not into coding or video games, you tune out. But here’s the thing, AI is already changing how doctors diagnose patients, how designers create collections, how banks detect fraud, and how brands talk to you. Every industry. Every role. The question isn’t whether AI will affect your career. It already is. What’s missing is someone showing you what that actually looks like, and people who look like you proving it’s possible. That’s exactly what this day is built for.
We will host two booths designed to make you more hireable before you even leave the building.
Your CV and Linkedin is your first impression into the job market. In this session, we’ll show you how to use AI to write your Resume and Cover Letters so they stand out. We will also show how to update and improve your Linkedin game.
A picture says a thousand words, having a high quality and professional photo makes the right impression. Whether you are updating your LinkedIn game or leveling up on professional networking. Get your photo taken by a professional photographer.

Got Questions?
Do I need any experience with AI? Nope. This day is designed for people who are curious but have no idea where to start.
Is it really free? Yes, completely. Light snacks and drinks are included throughout the day.
Can I bring a friend? Please do. The more the merrier -just make sure they register too so we can save their spot.
What should I expect on the day? A mix of company showcases, hands-on workshops, and real conversations with professionals who’ve been where you are. It’s interactive, it moves fast, and it won’t feel like a lecture.
What should I bring? Just yourself and your laptop if you have one. Everything else is taken care of.
