Graduands flock to career fair

Based on the turnout at their most recent event, it's not surprising that UCT's Career Service has increased its annual Career Fairs from four to five this year.

Students packed the Jameson Hall for the early August fairs, and the third, on 15 August, was fully booked a week in advance, according to Nawaal Boolay, employee liaison manager at Career Service. And, as student Robyn Smith puts it, the fairs are the best platforms for students - in particular, those who are close to graduating - to meet potential recruiters, and glean more information about opportunities available in the world of work.
