At Reiz Tech, shaping the future of IT starts with students. Through career fairs, job shadowing, and open dialogue, Reiz helps bridge the gap between education and employment - creating shared value by supporting students and strengthening the tech talent pipeline. It's a conscious commitment to knowledge sharing, nurturing emerging talent, and building long-term, sustainable value.
Talent Acquisition Team Lead Vytautė Siautilaitė sees students as future colleagues, and career fairs as a chance to build long-term recruitment success. By talking with students directly, she gains insight into their expectations, emerging trends, and evolving skillsets - critical knowledge for shaping effective hiring strategies.
She recalls one memorable encounter with a bright mathematics student who believed accounting was the only path forward: "We had a long discussion about other career possibilities such as Data Engineering, Data Modelling or pretty much any Software Engineering role if desired - and that seemed to have changed a lot of things for this bright student."
This type of meaningful exchange is why Reiz shows up - not just with brochures and banners, but with honest dialogue and a genuine interest in what students want out of their careers. Early engagement helps students gain real-world insights and helps Reiz stay in touch with the evolving landscape of skills, aspirations, and expectations.
It's one thing to hear about a job. It's another to see it in action.
When students spend a day shadowing professionals at Reiz, they get a rare behind-the-scenes look at how decisions are made, how projects unfold, and how real-life problem-solving works. For Miglė Dzedulionytė, Financial Controller at Reiz, this kind of hands-on learning is as enriching for the host as it is for the students. After hosting two finance students, she reflected:
"The students' questions were valuable - they made me think more deeply about why certain actions or decisions are taken the way they are. This reflection helped me better understand and even re-evaluate some of my own approaches."
And the biggest lesson for students, besides seeing their field in action? Miglė saw students truly connect their studies with real tasks: "They often recognise situations that they've already heard about in their studies. This helps them understand that what they're learning at university isn't just theory - it's something they will actually use in practice."
Marketing Team Lead Agnė Jaraminaitė still remembers the uncertainty she felt when starting out in tech. Now, she engages with students to offer the kind of clarity and reassurance she once needed. For her, career fairs are more than branding - they're about breaking down the myths of the tech world and helping students imagine themselves as part of it. "Students get a chance to interact with professionals and get an honest look at what working in IT is really like – beyond the glossy booths," Agnė notes.
When students shadowed her workday, it was an opportunity for mutual growth. Agnė found herself reflecting on the value of her own routines: "I became more mindful of how I explain things and noticed how much value they found in understanding the 'why' behind what we do, not just the 'how'."
And for students, the biggest benefit is often a deeper understanding of what work in IT and tech-adjacent fields really looks like. "Students often walk away with a more realistic view of the industry. One of the key takeaways for them is realising that careers in IT or marketing aren't linear – they're dynamic, and they require constant learning and adaptability."
Student engagement starts with recruitment and brand awareness - but it goes much further. At its core, it's about sustainability in the broadest sense - sharing knowledge, empowering communities, and helping young people build confident, informed pathways into the job market.
And for those who are just considering getting involved in student engagement initiatives? Agnė shares her insights:
In every fair attended, every conversation held, and every shadowing experience hosted, Reiz is reinforcing a simple yet powerful truth: the future of IT begins the moment someone believes in the students' potential and gives them a glimpse of the world they're about to enter.
