Indian Institute of Job Training (IIJT) received over 100 jobseekers at the first-ever career fair for the youth. Over 50 offers were made on-the-spot by the four participating companies - Microsense Pvt Ltd, Rose Valley, Idea Cellular and Digital Matrix. This career fair offered over 200 entry-level positions in finance and operations for Class XII pass-outs and fresh graduates. The objective of this initiative was to help candidates assess themselves for job readiness and build a platform to bring jobseekers and employers together, thereby taking a step ahead in bridging the skill gap across industries.
The job fair was held at the IIJT Education, Sinthee Centre, on B T Road in Kolkata. The candidates got the opportunity to go through assessment and employability evaluation conducted by experienced IIJT faculty and career counsellors.
