Uppsala Union of Engineering and Science Students has a plethora of engagement opportunities ranging from being part of a committee to being a project manager, participating in working groups, and holding a full-time salaried post.
Engagement spans a range of areas, including study coverage, where you can work to improve the quality and content of trainings, to organising major events such as Rafting, which brings students together in one of the most memorable events of the year.
Once a semester, all those involved work together in a joint effort to clean the corps premises during the traditional cleaning festival.
Each engagement in UTN offers unique experiences and opportunities to grow, learn and contribute. Whether it's through planning events, managing corps communications, or representing student interests, there is always room for committed individuals who want to make a difference and develop professionally. In addition, the full-time salaried posts provide a chance to work deeply with the operations of the Corps and gain valuable insights into management and organizational work.

När en post publicerats på apply.utn.se ligger den ofta uppe i minst 10 dagar.
The selection process is designed to be fair, transparent and inclusive. It begins with a call for vacancies, where all interested members are welcome to apply. After the end of the application period, candidates undergo a rigorous selection process which may include interviews and assessment of relevant experience and skills in relation to the requirements of the role.
Vilka det är som håller i intervjun kan variera. För poster som tillsätts av kårens fullmäktige eller heltidsuppdragen brukar dessa genomföras av kåren valberedning. De flesta övriga uppdrag intervjuas av antingen kårens styrelse eller ansvarig instans för den post du sökt.
Tidsåtagandet kan variera stort beroende på engagemang men även tid på året. Vissa uppdrag såsom studentrepresentantsuppdrag kan innebära några enstaka möten per termin medan andra uppdrag kan innebära några timmar i veckan. Oavsett vilket uppdrag som passar dig är det dock viktigt att komma ihåg den tid du lägger ner inte ska bli av den grad att studierna påverkas nämnvärt. Vissa engagemang där man arbetar mot ett specifikt event kan vara lugnare inledningsvis för att sedan bli mer intensivt mot slutet.
Absolut! UTN välkomnar alla medlemmar som vill bidra, oavsett tidigare erfarenhet. Engagemang i kåren är en fantastisk möjlighet att lära sig nya färdigheter och vi erbjuder utbildning och stöd för att hjälpa dig komma igång.
UTN erbjuder en mängd olika engagemang, från att vara studentrepresentant, en del av en kommitté eller arbetsgrupp, fristående uppdrag eller att ta ett heltidsarvoderad uppdrag och ta studieuppehåll.
Engagemang i UTN ger dig praktiska erfarenheter som kompletterar din akademiska utbildning. Det hjälper dig att utveckla överförbara färdigheter som ledarskap, projektledning och teamwork, vilket är attraktivt för framtida arbetsgivare. Dessutom bygger du upp ett nätverk som kan vara värdefullt i din framtida karriär.
