British Council's Employers Fair held at University of Manchester

The British Council's Employers Fair was held at University of Manchester on Wednesday, which was highly appreciated. United Energy Pakistan, in addition to other employers, were quoted saying they were extremely pleased with the quality of students they met at the university particularly from the Engineering departments. Many students were promised internships upon their return to Pakistan, which in many ways fulfilled one of the aims of this Fair.
In addition to University of Manchester, students and career advisors from five other neighbouring universities including the University of Sheffiield, Manchester Metropolitan University, Cardiff University, University of Leeds, and University of Safford also travelled to attend the fair. Apart from the fair itself the Career Advisors session and a talk on Social Entrepreneurship were also very successful.
The session where companies helped career and placement officers from universities understand their recruitment processes and skills sets they are looking for. This informative session on the Pakistani job markets and what student returning to Pakistan should expect, resulted in an interactive discussion between employers and Career Placement Officers. The talk by Faraz Khan on 'Social Entrepreneurship' was vastly enjoyed by the students. Next stop for the British Council Employers' Fair is University of Glasgow, where eight other universities from Scotland will also be visiting.-PR
