Over fifty companies have registered to participate in Ashesi’s Career Fair 2016 to be held on Wednesday, 16th March 2016. The Ashesi Career Fair is a one-day annual event that brings the entire Ashesi community (students, alumni, faculty and staff) together with representatives from various organisations to interact at various career development levels.
Sponsors for this year’s event include Tullow Ghana Limited, General Electric, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation, Millward Brown, BEIGE Academy, Dalex Finance, Genkey, Societe Generale Ghana, VOTO Mobile, Development Alternatives Incorporated (Africa Lead II), Databank Financial Services Limited and Kaysens Groupe of Companies.
The Fair helps the Ashesi community gain an understanding of the challenges and opportunities that exist in the work environment and also creates a platform for organisations to recruit Ashesi students and alumni.
“Every year, the Career Fair opens Ashesi’s doors to leading institutions in Ghana for networking, brainstorming and sharing recruitment opportunities with the community,” said Abigail Lartey, Assistant Director of Career Services
“We are particularly excited about the diverse industry representation we have this year and some of the new sessions we have planned; speed interviews, faculty and employers roundtable discussion and a new competition – Ashesi's most enterprising business pitch competition, to mention a few. We are confident that all of these will give institutions and Ashesi an even more intimate and focused opportunity for engagement.”
