DARP Senior Assistant
Manager Lee Wan Poh said, “We understand that job seeking is not easy and
sometimes it is difficult to get hold of certain companies. The UTAR Virtual
Career Fair provides our students and alumni with a platform to secure their
potential employment. The students do not need to worry about contacting the
companies because they are readily available at the event.”
He highlighted, “This
career fair is a good platform as it allows graduating students and alumni
to have a better understanding of the job market, further enabling them to
prepare themselves for employment.” Lee added, “Starting from June 2021
onwards, UTAR Virtual Career Fair will introduce ‘Employer E-Meet Session’
where participating companies will have a one-hour Microsoft Team session
with students and graduates.”
DARP will organise “Employer E-Meet Session” starting from June 2021
