UG to host annual Open Day, Job Fair this week

The University of Guyana is set to host its annual Open Day and Job Fair from Thursday to Saturday at the Turkeyen Campus and on April 28, 2023, at Tain Campus (Berbice), under the theme, “Advancing Local Content Priorities: Maximising Opportunities”.
This year’s event will feature two main aspects – an Open Day, which will allow all potential university students an opportunity to explore the over 150 programmes that UG has to offer, and also learn about various career paths directly from the university’s faculty and students. Meanwhile, the Job Fair component will provide information on job and internship opportunities being offered by top local and international organisations which will be present to connect with current UG students, alumni, and the general public.
Students of senior secondary schools across Guyana, all post-secondary institutions, professionals from both the public and private sectors, and members of the public are invited to participate in this year’s event. The event opens from 10 am to 4 pm daily and admission is completely free.
On April 20, at the Turkeyen Campus, UG’s Academic Divisions and Service Units will host information sessions that will allow persons to engage with representatives of the various university departments. And on April 21 and 22, there will be job seminars featuring keynote presentations and panel discussions involving industry experts from the public and private sectors. All interested persons, especially those seeking to enter the job market, are encouraged to attend and engage with the experts.
Meanwhile on April 28, at the Tain Campus, academic departments of the UGBC will host information sessions for potential students, and companies will be conducting interviews for jobs and training opportunities.
Several well-known companies and organisations have already come on board to support this event and will share perspectives on topical issues impacting their area of expertise.
