In case you aren’t aware, the annual NSSF MPL Career Expo is an event that is designed to prepare students for the work place and equip students with skills and knowledge to increase their employability. It also offers students professional career advice as well as an opportunity to engage with potential employers.
The Expo is held in partnership Monitor Publications who joined the initiative last year.
A series of soft skills and professional development workshops are run during the Expo to prepare students for the work environment and also inform them about opportunities in different companies.
During the event, NSSF recruits and registers University Finalists who are preparing to enter the job market as members into the Fund that will contribute to the Fund in future when they get employed. The Expos are also used to drive awareness about NSSF services amongst the student community. With the impending liberalization, it’s critical more than ever to have such recruitment drives in order to grow our membership.
The Career Expo has been held for the last 5 years. Last year it was held in 11 universities under the theme “Job or Business ?Find your calling”.
