SQU prepares to host career, training fair

Muscat - The Centre for Career Guidance of Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) is making arrangements to organise the 21st edition of Career & Training Fair from March 2-4.

The centre has begun sending invitations to a large number of establishments within the sultanate and abroad. The interested establishments have been listed in the electronic registration system of the fair.

The centre is working to establish direct contacts where students can get full access to vacant jobs, training and career development opportunities available in the labour market through the listed establishments.

The fair seeks to promote role of the Centre for Career Guidance in marketing SQU graduates and academic programmes. It serves as a conduit between the SQU and the participating establishments, working to familiarise these establishments with the graduates.

The fair is expected to see a large turnout of students and graduates from different university colleges. It is an important event which contributes to enabling students to have face-toface communication with representatives of establishments, besides providing opportunities for the students to get to know about available incentives and training opportunities.

It is worth noting that a special section of the fair has been dedicated to offer support to establishments wishing to conduct employment interviews at the fair’s venue, in addition to another section to spread awareness among students and graduates on planning for success in careers.
