IFSC Career Fair makes strides

Last year's fair was attended by 400 graduates and 35 exhibitors hoping to tap into and develop the skills emerging from the country's tertiary education sector.

The just-ended edition realised a strong attendance by graduates and prospective employers, a sign that the economy, which shed thousands of jobs last year owing to the global recession, is recovering. Although official figures are not yet available, it is expected that last year's recession exacerbated the country's official unemployment rate of 17.5 percent.
