Career Fair is one of the signature events organized by the Career Guidance Unit of University of Kelaniya to provide a platform for undergraduates to explore career opportunities in the corporate world. Consequently, for the fourteenth consecutive year, Career Fair 2023, which is organized in collaboration with the Rotaract Club, Leo Club, LED KLN, Gavel Club, and AIESEC at the University of Kelaniya is going to spread luminance by offering a platform for undergraduates to thrive and become the best in the corporate world.
Undergraduates can utilize this chance to prequalify for upcoming employment opportunities. We intend to mentor our undergrads so they can become leaders in their specialized industries. We will implement a variety of career explorations and experiential learning opportunities to maximize students' professional and personal potential. This engagement also helps them to better understand who they are, by empowering students to select meaningful professional pathways and succeed in a diverse society. Thus, Career Fair provides a convenient approach for many job and skill seekers, and it is a chance to elevate their experience, education, and aspirations.
Who are we
People are diverse...
Skills are Explicit...
Skills are Explicit...
Amidst all of this careers become one of the most important hallmarks of all time with the booming technology and competition. In today's context, with the rising competition, innovation and development of individual personalities and skills, finding and embracing a career becomes a challenging yet time consuming milestone in one's life.
Qualification alone will not provide the enough support to create the perfect employee persona to pitch yourself as the best recruit to an organization. This is where skills come into place. But skill development and identification can be another challenge.
The Career Fair organized by the Career Guidance Unit (CGU) is ready to remark its action for the 14 th time. Mainly focusing on providing a professional exposure to all the undergraduates of the University of Kelaniya in terms of soft skills and professional skills, and also to guide the choices of career paths. We focus on strengthening the ties between the corporate sector and the undergraduates to make the career approach more easier and smoother.
Await the marvel of Professionalism and Skills…
