Students Commend Firm for Career Connect Series

Students from various senior secondary schools and tertiary institutions have commended Global Interns for broadening their horizon on career planning and internship opportunities at the Career Connect Series held in Lagos recently.

The workshop had in attendance seasoned facilitators, including Greg Malize, Founder and Executive Director of ImpactGen; Oluwaseyi Adeoye, Chief Executive Officer of Pierrine Consulting; Caesar Keluro, Principal Partner of Ideasvibe Media; and Olufunmilayo Modupe, Principal Adviser of Global Interns Company, who provided educative career planning tips on various topics.

A final year student of English Language at the University of Lagos, Roberts Ayanfe, said the workshop has broadened his horizon as it would help him to think for himself and engage in new challenges. “Before now I used to depend on my parents for assistance, but the career connect series has sharpened my perception towards self- sufficiency.”

He expressed his optimism and enthusiasm triggered by the workshop to embark on new ventures. “What I have realised from this workshop is that at this point in my life as a final year student, if I do not start doing certain things on my own and making logical decisions, it would affect my career choices and ultimately life’s goals.”

A fashion designer and Fine Art student of Yaba College of Technology, Sifon Ediomo-Abasi, expressed her excitement and commended the organisers of the workshop, saying that it gave her new orientation on how she could use technology to hype her career interest.

“This workshop deserves huge commendation from every quarter of our society because if we have guidance in our career choices, students and young adults would make informed decisions that would add value to them and ultimately bring about an improved performance as entrepreneurs and in workplaces.”
