About thirty corporate institutions and businesses at the weekend opened their doors to students of Ashesi University, under the university's Career Guidance Services.
The third annual career fair aimed to bridge the yawning gap between products of training institutions and the practical demands of the job market.
Among participating institutions were Multimedia Group Limited (MGL), Zenith Bank, Databank Group, Cal Bank, Type, Tigo, SCG, Busy Internet, AABN, and a host of others.
A common theme that ran from one stand to another was for students to go job-hunting with open minds devoid of preconceptions of landing jobs based solely on their courses of study. Such an approach, the students were told, limits their career prospects.
For most of the students, apart from coming into direct contact with players in the real job world, they were also happy the fair exposed them to internship and employment opportunities as some of the participating businesses actually went talent-hunting, convinced that the university's products, given their course modules and corporate culture training, were potential leads for great talents.
According to Mrs. Jane Gyekye, Human Resource and Corporate Affairs Manager of MGL, who led a large theme of senior staff of the company to the fair, the media is saturated from the outlook, however there is usually an acute need for fresh programming and talent, "and there is no better forum to go hunting than a training institution with the apt culture that also understands business."
She explained that a key aptitude in setting high standards at Multimedia is keeping the right people in the right positions, assuring that Multimedia would open its doors to a number of talents it identified during the fair for internship programmes and national service.
