Agricultural Job Fair at UoM

We bring you today, news from an event that happened a few months back. So its not fresh news, but the initiative was worthy of publishing. We also believe that by motivating UoM students to document their activities, we will be promoting young talent in writing skills and at the same time consolidating our network. The document has been slightly edited. Enjoy the reading..

The Students’ Union in collaboration with the Agricultural Society of the University of Mauritius (UoM) organised their first ever Agricultural Job Fair on the 19^th March 2010. The event was held at the Raised Plaza of the university from 10:00 to 16:00 and among the organisations present were the Agricultural Services of the Ministry of Agro-Industry and Food Security, Agricultural Research and Extension Unit (AREU), Small Planters Welfare Fund (SPWF), Food and Allied Industries Ltd (FAIL), Irrigation Authority and the Mauritius Standards Bureau (MSB).

The agricultural Job Fair was held to allow the students from the Faculty of Agriculture (FoA) to meet potential employers and get acquainted with the nature of the job they will have to perform in the future. The Job Fair was also open to all the students of UoM as well as college students who had just finished their A-Level or were their final year.

After the inauguration at 10:00, lecturers and students from all faculties were welcomed by members of the Agricultural Society and everyone had the opportunity to interact with different organisations’ representatives. Present among the visitors were the Vice Chancellor of UoM, Dean of FoA and members of the Students’ Union.

By the end of the event, the Job Fair had gathered around 400 visitors. The event had wide media coverage and was helpful to third year students planning their final year course dissertation and going on the job market. According to information we have the event also helped in securing job placements for many students.
