Do You Need A Job? Announcing The Third Edition Of The National Career Fair

We are pleased to announce the third edition of the National Career Fair 2014 organized by Imperial Integrated Project Services in collaboration with Dragnet Solutions Limited, endorsed by Leap Africa and Office of the Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation.

Imperial Integrated Project Services is a social change youth-focused business enterprise creating opportunities for students and young people in an emerging Nigerian economy. We are driven by the belief that opportunities provide impetus for growth and our business is structured to find growth opportunities for young people.

 

Dragnet Solutions Limited is the nation’s leading technology firm that specializes in the design, development and implementation of innovative people based screening solutions. Since inception, we have conducted over a million tests predominantly for recruitment purposes on behalf of major IOCs, multinationals and SMEs across all sectors of the economy.

 

The National Career Fair provides an annual convergence of undergraduates, graduates, entrepreneurs and job seekers on the one hand and major corporations, government agencies and small and medium scale firms on the other. The objective is to create a platform for opportunities and needs to interact. Young people needing work and venture capital get to meet with the institutions that create and house those opportunities. This platform also provides the safety, skills and character requirement of the various sectors of the economy. The event includes the Development dialogue session which is modeled after the Davos Round-table consisting of panel discussants talking on Governance and Leadership, Tech Economy and E-commerce, Venture capital and the creative economy.
