Preparing undergraduates for employment
View(s):The Official Careers Fair of the University of Moratuwa, ‘Are You Ready?’, which was held for the 19th consecutive time concluded recently. This event that claims a prominent place in the university calendar, was organized by the Career Guidance Unit in collaboration with the Rotaract Club of the University of Moratuwa and was attended by over 700 undergraduates and 60 companies with 80 interview panels.
The prime objective of ‘Are You Ready?’ is to bridge the gap between the soon-to-be graduates and the corporate sector. While preparing undergraduates for recruitment in the industry, it also gives an opportunity for the corporate sector to avail themselves of the talent that the University of Moratuwa has to offer.
The event was tailored to encompass all areas critical for the success of an undergraduate through its five sessions; The Resume, The Careers Forum, YOUTM, The Exemplar and The Dining Etiquette and Grooming Workshop. The highlight of the event was the Flagship Day held where an approximate 800 final year undergraduates were interviewed by companies for recruitment.
