The companies attend to the Days to attract talent and have in novelty the opportunity to ‘seduce' to the engineers of the morning in front of the every time greater risk that they are hired by foreign companies, and explain personally which opportunities of work and professional development offers each one of them to the youngsters with a high technical qualification. And it is that, in spite of the economic crisis, there are professional profiles that continue resulting strategic, and between them stand out the engineers.
