AFK 2025 Information
AFK 2025 will be held on Friday 5th of December 2025. The day begins with the recruitment fair itself, where all companies will be able to present themselves and their work to students. During the event there will also be a drop-in CV clinic, where you can get quick feedback on your CV, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile. Bring your document either printed or on your device, drop by during the session, and get a short individual review. The event will be followed up by a sauna evening at Marlibastun, which is available to students that have attended at least two presentations during the fair.
The fair will be held on our student campus, specifically on the third floor of the Agora building, where the IT department of Åbo Akademi is located. We hope to see you there!
