LUMS recently hosted its milestone annual Career Fair with
participation from notable organisations across multiple industries. The Career
Fair welcomed around 200 national and international reputed organisations. The
engagement between students and recruiters included activities such as extensive
on-spot screening interviews, seeking information about each other and submission
of resumes. Moreover, organisation representatives also counselled students
regarding their career choices and job market requirements.
The
Dean of the Office of Student Affairs, Dr. Adnan Zahid, while talking about the
importance of networking opportunities at the fair, shared, “The Career Fair is
ever growing, as students get to know about multiple opportunities that
different organisations offer to them such as internships, MTO programmes, and
jobs. The recruiters get to know about the skillset of our students and the
diverse range of programmes that LUMS offers.” The University values its
partnership with its recruiting partners that allows its students to explore
life-changing prospects, and this collaboration will continue to grow in the
years to come.
Students
continue to engage with organisations and with the Career Services Office after
the Fair as well for career exploration and recruitment, alumni mentorship, organisation
visits to campus, students’ visits to company offices, and peer-to-peer
guidance.
