The University of Montpellier, a catalyst for meetings between talent and recruiters at the Forum Emploi Université 2025

The University Employment Forum returns to the Triolet campus on Thursday, October 16, 2025. Organized by the University of Montpellier, this is a major event dedicated to the professional integration of students and recent graduates. The aim of this sixth edition is to encourage exchanges between the academic and professional worlds, by building bridges around internship, work-study and employment opportunities. Nearly 100 companies, 230 recruiters and 1,800 students are expected to attend the 2025 event.

A 2025 edition under the sign of artificial intelligence

This year, the Forum will focus on a key theme: artificial intelligence (AI). Against a backdrop of profound changes in professions, skills and recruitment methods, the University of Montpellier is offering a space for reflection and dialogue on the impact of AI on the world of work.

The round table entitled "AI and recruitment: opportunities and challenges for young talent" will bring together Abyslen, APEC and Altrad Endel, among others, who will share their expertise around several axes:

  • the new uses of AI in sourcing and selecting candidates;
  • emerging skills to be mastered ;
  • the biases and limitations of recruitment algorithms ;
  • the prospects for collaboration between human and artificial intelligence.
