The Career Fair @RP was
held on 16 Feb 06 at RP's Tanglin Campus. The aim of the fair is two-fold:
-
To introduce
participating companies to our students by allowing them to offer relevant
job opportunities
-
To enable our students
to come closer to the companies and allow them to use the opportunity to ask
questions and address their career concerns.
The career fair had a
total of 16 participating companies that
collectively offered 284 jobs to final year students. Additionally
part-time jobs were offered to aspiring Year 1, Year 2 students and Year 3
male students awaiting National Service call-up upon graduation. Our students
were equally quick to seize the opportunity and have signed up with the
companies. Over 800 job applications and referrals
(most students applied with more than one company to increase their chances of
employment) were made during the day itself.
Consequently the participating companies were quick to capitalize on this
windfall of student applications and decided to conduct interviews for selected
students at our meeting rooms throughout the day. The participating companies
were happy with the student turnout and the arrangements made for them, and
expressed interest in participating in future career fairs. Our Office of Industry
and Career Services (OIC) will continue to work with
students, staff and companies to advance the career prospects of our
graduating cohort.
On a related note, our RP
Career Coaches, thoughtful facilitators and OIC staff have been encouraging both
students and companies to actively participate in the Student Career portal. To date, the Student Career Portal has over 680 job offers with
128 companies that have signed up. Similarly, we have
over 900 active RP students who have registered
themselves at the portal and are using the career services available on the
portal.
We will continue to reach out to all students, encourage greater participation
and make the job searching experience a worthwhile effort.
Here are snapshots of what
happened on that day.
