Throughout the event, students engaged in lively discussions, learned about company cultures, and explored internship and employment possibilities. Students were able to present their cover letters and resumes to companies and sign up for summer internships.
Assistant Registrar for Student Support and Success, Jenifer Hughes, noted that there was an excellent turn out from the students of the campus. She noted that the event was a collaboration between the Student Support and Success Unit and the School of Business and Management and was the culmination of the World of Work Programme hosted by the unit in Semester Two (II).
The UWI Five Islands Campus remains committed to empowering its students and bridging the gap between education and employment with events such as the job fair. The success of the 2024 job fair underscores the campus’ dedication to fostering a vibrant and dynamic learning environment for citizens of Antigua and Barbuda and the wider OECS region.
