Internship opportunities abound at UTAR Career Day

UTAR reinforced its commitment to graduate employability and industry collaboration through the successful organisation of UTAR Career Day. Held at the Multipurpose Hall of UTAR Sungai Long Campus on 30 July 2025, the event attracted over 60 reputable companies and drew a large crowd of students and graduates.

Jointly organised by the Department of Alumni Relations and Placement and the Career Development Club, the career fair served as a vital bridge between UTAR’s talent pool and the professional world. The event aimed to connect students and graduates with potential employers, offering valuable exposure to various industries and opening doors to internship and full-time job opportunities.

The career fair catered to participants from a wide range of disciplines, with companies from sectors such as finance, technology, engineering, manufacturing, and consulting present to share recruitment opportunities and industry expectations.  

Adding a touch of excitement to the day were three lucky draw sessions, where participants stood a chance to win Touch 'n Go eWallet reload pins worth up to RM1,000. These sessions were designed to encourage participation and create a vibrant, engaging atmosphere.

Students made the most of the opportunity to network, seek career advice, and leave a lasting impression on potential employers. Company representatives shared valuable insights into corporate cultures, hiring processes, and the key attributes they look for in today’s graduates.

Bachelor of Corporate Communication (Honours) student Jessendra Selvarajan and Bachelor of Accounting (Honours) student Kishaalini Sivabalan shared that the career fair was helpful, especially with so many companies present. Jessendra, who is currently looking for an internship, found the event particularly beneficial. Both emphasised that strong communication skills, the ability to interact with others, problem-solving abiilities, and teamwork are essential for interviews and success in the workplace.

UTAR Career Day 2025 reaffirmed the University’s proactive role in fostering strong industry-academia partnerships and ensuring that its graduates are well-equipped to meet the evolving demands of the workforce.
