VGTU “Career Days 14”: looking for a job or useful acquaintanceship

March 16, 2014
“Career Days 14” started at VGTU and will continue for several months with motto “Come and Meet”. Students will learn not only from the outstanding company leaders, but also from charismatic and brave stars of entertainment world, such as “Radistai”,Tadas Vidmantas, Gediminas Jaunius and others.



“Finding a job for a young specialist is a real challenge, so we suggest career planning from the first study years. During “Career days” we encourage students to imitate their future job interview and establish connections with potential employers. We have already noticed, that after such meetings contracts were made, either for future job and practice place, or partnership for writing final theses and project development,”- said Vilma Navikiene, Director of Integration and Career Department at VGTU.



During two weeks of lectures, students will meet almost forty leaders – VGTU alumni, company heads or representatives, TV showmen, actors, stars of entertainment world, such as J. Smoriginas, choreographer, ballet dancer, who will tell why “It Will Be Better Next Month”, Vlada Musvydaitė, TV sports news presenter, Lithuanian running champion, she will explain why “Sports is a Circle of Luck”, Andrius Olechnovicius, coacher will tell about emotional bankruptcy, Mindaugas Ivanavicius, project director of “Sweco“, will prove why studies and job practice is correct investment and Human resources manager of enterprise group “Girteka” will “teach to sell“…



On March 19 more than forty representatives from Lithuanian and foreign companies will come to the university. During Contacts Fair they will present their companies and make acquaintances with students, reading their Curriculum Vitae.



The third part of “Career Days 14” will start in April, visiting such companies as “Schmitz Cargobull Baltic”, “DPD Lietuva” or “Lithuanian Energy”  and others. According to the Director of Integration and Career Department, “large companies will make an exception for students and allow them to visit their companies, feeling the atmosphere, communicating with the employees.”
“For the second year we are trying to create a space for discussions between students and employers, looking for new ideas and partnership. We are happy that students use this chance for making useful contacts, learning about the professions from practical point of view, paying special attention to the challenges and using it for inspiration while studying and making career,”- told V. Navikiene.



Last year about three thousand students participated at the Career Festival, more than forty open lectures were organised, while employers were looking for VGTU students as future trainees, workers and experimental research partners.

VILNIUS TECH Library invites you to follow the published new dissertations. The dissertation „Twin transition impact assessment model for agricultural performance in the context of sustainability“ prepared at VILNIUS TECH by Kristina Šermukšnytė-Alešiūnienė. The dissertation was prepared in 2020–2026. Scientific consultant – Dr Rasa Melnikienė. The dissertation was defended at the public meeting of the Dissertation Defence Council of the Scientific Field of Economics in the Aula Doctoralis Meeting Hall of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University at 10 a. m. on 22 September 2026. The twin transition in agriculture, combining the digital and green transitions, is one of the key directions of the European Union’s strategy for developing a more sustainable, resilient, and competitive agricultural sector. This dissertation addresses the problem of how to assess the impact of digital and green transitions on agricultural performance in the context of sustainability. The dissertation aims to develop and empirically substantiate the Twin Transition Impact Assessment Model. The model integrates three assessment levels: farm-level adoption and economic performance; the bioeconomy and value-chain level; and the national and regional context level. Structural asymmetries and enabling mechanisms are included as cross-cutting components. A mixed-methods research design was applied, combining scientific literature analysis, conceptual synthesis, case-study analysis, structured survey analysis, comparative assessment, correlation and regression analysis, sensitivity analysis, semi-structured interviews, document review, and the synthesis of empirical findings. The empirical basis consists of five interconnected studies covering small-farm digitalisation, digital technology adoption in sustainable agriculture and the bioeconomy, the twin transition in Lithuania and Romania, food supply-chain digitalisation, and structural asymmetries in Lithuania’s bioeconomy transition. The empirical results show that the twin transition improves agricultural performance when digital and green solutions are integrated across the farm, value chain, and regional and national levels. Digitalisation supports labour efficiency, planning, customer relations, investment decisions, loss reduction, traceability, product quality, and supply-chain visibility, while also contributing to resource efficiency, renewable energy use, water-use efficiency, emissions reduction, carbon sequestration, and climate resilience. The empirical evidence indicates that the effects of digital and green transitions depend on infrastructure, investment capacity, policy support, digital skills and institutional conditions. The results also show structural differences in transition outcomes: higher investment intensity does not automatically produce stronger economic results, and digital adoption may occur separately from ecological production orientation. On this basis, the dissertation concludes that digital and green transitions can strengthen agricultural performance and sustainability when they are integrated, context-specific and supported by enabling mechanisms. The proposed model provides a scientific and practical framework for assessing agricultural performance under the twin transition across farm-level, bioeconomy and agri-food value-chain, regional-national and structural dimensions.
