The seventh national career fair kicked off in Dhaka yesterday to provide an opportunity for employers to see and interact with the prospective job seekers.
The department of career and professional development services of North South University (NSU) organised the fair on its campus in Basundhara. The fair ends today.
AK Azad Chowdhury, chairman of University Grants Commission, inaugurated the fair as the chief guest. Dr Hafiz GA Siddiqi, vice chancellor of NSU, presided over the inaugural session.
Around 70 organisations representing various businesses and industries such as banking, telecoms, media, trading, manufacturing, adverting agency and management consulting firms have taken part in the two-day event. It also features seminars, workshops and on-the-spot interviews.
The purpose of the fair is to open a gateway for the participating companies to create employer branding and to interact with the potential career seekers not only from NSU but also from across the country.
The fair provides an opportunity for the employers to recruit candidates and build an image, NSU said in a statement. “At the same time, it helps career seekers to find the right organisation to work with.”
