As the university gears up to host its annual ‘Open Career Day 2008,’
assistance from major entities is already being given.
Yesterday, Chief Executive Officer of Barama Company Limited, Peter
Ho, made a donation of some one hundred and fifteen ply boards to the
tertiary institution.
The ply boards will be utilized for the construction of display booths
for the upcoming Open Career Day, which is slated for February 15 at
the University’s Turkeyen campus. Ho, upon handing over the items, said
he was delighted to be a part of such an initiative, and plans to make
future contributions to the university whenever the need arises.
Deputy Vice Chancellor of the university, Tota Mangar, in his
response, thanked the company for what he described as a timely
donation. Mr. Mangar said he is looking forward to other such
initiatives.
The materials donated were valued at some $115,000.
Meanwhile the university’s career day will be held next week Friday
under the theme “Partnering to enhance the delivery of education”.
According to the university’s public relations officer, Ms. Paulette
Paul, the career day will open with a brief ceremony at 10:30hrs. To
date, some thirty private and public sector organizations have
confirmed their participation in this year’s event.
According to Ms. Paul, partnering with the various organizations will
provide an excellent opportunity to link the university’s programmes
with available jobs. She added that the partnership will also expose
current prospective students to job opportunities and careers within
their fields of study.
Ms. Paul further reiterated that there is also the added advantage of
enabling the employers and potential employees to bridge the labour
market information gap by providing a better understanding of each
other’s expectations.
