Record employer demand for NUI Galway Graduate Jobs Fair

University hosts online event to connect businesses with our brightest and best A record number of top employers are set to showcase career opportunities at NUI Galway’s Virtual Graduate Jobs Fair. Some 115 companies are taking part in the online event on Tuesday October 5th, vying for the best and brightest to join their ranks. NUI Galway’s Career Development Centre is urging current students and recent graduates of the University to register for the fair and make the most of the chance to engage with employers. Students registered on the University’s Careers Connect portal can book their places today. Marie Laffey, Head of the Career Development Centre at NUI Galway, said: “Our Virtual Graduate Jobs Fair provides students with the opportunity to present their professional side, get comfortable with networking, learn what types of jobs are available in their sector, find out about the skills and experience employers value in a graduate. “Most importantly it gives students the chance to get their name in front of employers they’d like to work for and hopefully impress them. “Students also often discover organisations they didn't know much about, so it opens up new career ideas and options.” NUI Galway’s 2021 Virtual Graduate Jobs Fair has seen an unprecedented level of demand from employers, from all sectors of the economy, who want to connect with our final year and post-graduate students. NUI Galway’s Virtual Graduate Jobs Fair takes place online on the GraduateLand portal on Tuesday, 5th October from 11am-4pm. Ms Laffey added: “Our set-up for the Graduate Jobs Fair makes it easy to match students to the employer and offers opportunities for employers to customise their stall with open positions, videos and other marketing collateral while giving them ability to chat with students through web chat or video. “Ireland had the fastest economic growth in the second quarter of this year, with some forecasts of a post-lockdown boom. There are also signs of labour shortages in many sectors and this means there are an abundant opportunities for graduates. That is also reflected in the demand from employers to attend our Graduate Jobs Fair.” Ends

An-éileamh ag fostóirí ar Aonach Post na gCéimithe in OÉ Gaillimh

Ócáid ar líne á reáchtáil ag an Ollscoil chun gnólachtaí a nascadh le scoth na gcéimithe Beidh an líon is airde fostóirí mór le rá ag léiriú deiseanna fostaíochta ag Aonach Post na gCéimithe in OÉ Gaillimh. Tá thart ar 115 cuideachta ag glacadh páirt san imeacht ar líne Dé Máirt, an 5 Deireadh Fómhair, chun na céimithe is fearr a mhealladh le teacht ag obair leo. Tá an tIonad Forbartha Gairmeacha in OÉ Gaillimh ag moladh do mhic léinn reatha agus dóibh siúd ar bronnadh céim de chuid na hOllscoile orthu le gairid clárú don aonach agus an deis a thapú labhairt le fostóirí. Is féidir le mic léinn atá cláraithe ar thairseach Careers Connect na hOllscoile áit a chur in áirithe inniu. Dúirt Marie Laffey, Ceann an Ionaid Forbartha Gairmeacha in OÉ Gaillimh: “Tugann Aonach Post na gCéimithe an deis do mhic léinn a ngairmiúlacht a léiriú, dul i gcleachtadh ar líonrú, foghlaim faoi na cineálacha post atá ar fáil ina n-earnáil, fáil amach faoi na scileanna agus taithí a thaitníonn le fostóirí a fheiceáil i gcéimithe. “Níos tábhachtaí fós, tugann sé deis do mhic léinn iad féin a chur in aithne d’fhostóirí ar mhaith leo post a fháil leo agus b’fhéidir dul i gcion orthu. “Is minic a thagann mic léinn trasna ar eagraíochtaí nach raibh mórán eolais acu fúthu agus osclaíonn sé sin smaointe agus roghanna nua gairme." Tá éileamh níos mó ná riamh ag fostóirí, as gach earnáil, ar Aonach Post na gCéimithe, 2021 de chuid OÉ Gaillimh agus iad ag iarraidh casadh le mic léinn sa bhliain deiridh agus le hiarchéimithe. Beidh Aonach Post na gCéimithe ar siúl ar líne ar thairseach GraduateLand Dé Máirt, an 5 Deireadh Fómhair ó 11 am–4pm. Dúirt Marie Laffey: “Leis an leagan amach atá ar Aonach Post na gCéimithe bíonn sé éasca mic léinn a mheaitseáil le fostóir agus tugann sé an deis d’fhostóirí poist oscailte, físeáin agus saoráidí margaíochta eile a thaispeáint ag a seastáin agus chomh maith céanna beidh an deis acu labhairt le mic léinn trí chomhrá gréasáin nó trí fhíseán. “Bhí an fás eacnamaíoch is sciobtha in Éirinn sa dara ráithe den bhliain, agus tá roinnt ag tuar go mbeidh borradh i ndán dúinn i ndiaidh na dianghlasála. Tá comharthaí ann freisin maidir le ganntanas lucht saothair in earnálacha go leor agus ciallaíonn sé sin go bhfuil neart deiseanna ann do chéimithe. Is léir an méid sin freisin san éileamh ó fhostóirí freastal ar Aonach Post na gCéimithe." Críoch
