Local and foreign participants said that they got a valuable opportunity to raise awareness among the students and parents about their educational courses and what they have to offer for them. There are different types of students who have different types of requirements. They seek various educational and vocational training programs. This is a good opportunity for both students and employers. Some representatives from private banks said that applicants can fill applications and hand them over during the fair and they will consider those applications when recruiting new employees through the normal procedure. A group of job hunters and students said that they had received a rare chance to apply for several jobs under one roof. There are a lot of training courses that we can follow while doing our jobs. But we cannot afford to follow any of educational programs offered by foreign and private educational institutes, they added. |
