LARV - Luleå Career Week

The future is here! LARV, short for Luleå arbetsmarknadsvecka, is a series of events held annually at Luleå university of technology. LARV has since 1983 been hosted by the student union of engineering at LTU, called Teknologkåren, and is a project with the purpose to help students advance their professional careers and to prepare them for life after graduation. For many years the project has kept growing and does today involve over 110 organizations, 2000+ students, and grosses close to 3 Mkr in revenue. This makes it the most comprehensive event at LTU. The acronym LARV roughly translates to Luleå career week. As the name suggests, the project is mostly about planning a week dedicated to student career development. Usually occurring during the 3rd week of January, LARV provides events such as inspiring seminars, workshops, career coaching, individual meetings between students and organizations. The largest event held during LARV is the LARV-fair. This fair acts as a platform for students and companies to truly get to know each other. The fair is a one-day event and ends with a grand banquet to which every company and involved student is invited to attend.
