Group Organises Career Fair For Students
A leading global students-run organisation, Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et commerciales (AIESEC), accredited by the Department of Public Information (DPI), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, has expressed willingness to partner with The Tide Newspaper to achieve its aim of career choice for students in both secondary and tertiary institutions.
The team leader of marketing, AIESEC, Mr. Charles Udoh, made the assertion when the organisation paid a courtesy visit to The Tide in Port Harcourt, recently.
Mr Udoh said AIESEC, Port Harcourt is organising a career fair hence seek partnership with The Tide for enlightenment and publicity.
He said the 3-day event billed to hold from the 27th to 28th February is organised in conjunction with the university of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) adding that it is targeted at students and undergraduates from schools in Rivers State.
Also speaking, the coordinator, Dame Awoonor-Williams, said the career fair will involve a situation where corporate bodies will interact with students in relation to career choice as well as what job market entails and the talents they need.
The Ghanaian-born facilitator expressed optimism that at the end of the workshop, the students would benefit from ideas that will sharpen their skills and shape their careers adding that the seminar will cut across different disciplines like engineering, medicine, communication among others.
She said the fair became imperative especially for final-year students who would soon face the labour market as well as unemployment which is on the increase in Nigeria and African as a whole.
Responding, the General Manager of Rivers State Newspaper Corporation, (RSNC), Mr Celestine Ogolo, assured of the Corporation’s preparadness of partnering with AIESEC to ensure that the group’s mission is achieved, so that the problem of unemployment in society is meaningfully reduced.
Mr Ogolo said when that is done, Nigeria will achieve peace, sustainable development, stability, good governance.
Mr. Ogolo who was represented by the Group News Editor of The Tide, Mr Nelson Chukwudi, acknowledged that it was a good gesture assured AIESEC that the corporation would make provision to fit into the programme by providing coverage for the event.
The General Manager advised the group to collaborate with companies that would engage in discussions that pertain to scholarship programmes that have direct bearing on the students.
He urged AIESEC to select the best students after undergoing some form of test and train them for about three (3) months adding that, that would prepare them for international student fair.
He emphasised that at the end of such programmes, organisations who want to employ would first of all, employ participants from the programme.
