The Career and Learning Lounge returns on July 5 and 6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Caudan Arts Centre. The invitation is extended to all those who aspire to explore a world of professional and educational opportunities.
On Friday, July 5 and Saturday, July 6, the organizers of the Career and Learning Lounge invite you to the Caudan Arts Centre, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors will discover professional and educational opportunities.
Shareemah Aazmeen Boolakee, Group Digital Project Manager, says the offerings will be even better this year. “For this fifth edition, the Career and Learning Lounge promises to be even richer and more diverse. In addition to the usual educational and professional opportunities, new exclusive offers will be presented.” Visitors will be able to explore specific options for studies and permanent residencies in Canada, Australia and other countries. The fair will also feature several job offers in different sectors, offering a variety of opportunities for those looking to start or change their career.
“This year, we have expanded our network of partnerships with academic institutions and businesses, enabling us to offer innovative programs and specific scholarship opportunities. Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in interactive workshops and lectures led by experts. These sessions will cover a variety of topics, from current job market trends to the skills required to succeed in the modern professional world,” continues Shareemah Aazmeen Boolakee.
The enthusiasm for the Career and Learning Lounge continues to grow, she rejoices. “Participants, aware of the importance of choosing their educational and professional paths wisely, see in this fair a unique opportunity to meet experts and explore concrete opportunities.” Exhibitors are enthusiastic about the idea of presenting their offers and interacting directly with a targeted and motivated audience.
The fair is an annual event and Shareemah Aazmeen Boolakee points out that previous editions show strong interest and general satisfaction from visitors. “Many expressed their gratitude for the advice received and the contacts established with institutions. The exhibitors, for their part, praised the quality of the exchanges and the commitment of the participants. The fair thus becomes an essential platform for those who wish to learn about the latest innovations and opportunities in the educational and professional fields.”
According to the manager, the success of the Career and Learning Lounge is based on several key elements. First, a selection of quality exhibitors, able to provide relevant information and opportunities. Second, an interactive and welcoming environment, where visitors can ask questions and receive personalized advice. Finally, an ability to adapt to the needs and expectations of the public, by introducing new offers and expanding partnerships.
“Our people-centred approach is also a factor in our success. Our interactive workshops allow participants to develop practical skills and receive constructive feedback. In addition, lectures given by industry experts provide valuable insights into current and future trends in the job market,” she says.
A diversity of sectors are represented. This allows a diverse audience to find information and opportunities tailored to their interests and career goals. So whether you are interested in science, business or the creative arts, you will find exhibitors and sessions that meet your needs.
International opportunities
In addition to local opportunities, Shareemah Aazmeen Boolakee says visitors will discover international opportunities. “Visitors can explore study programs and scholarships available in countries like Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and more. International mobility experts will be on hand to provide advice on how to study or work abroad. This includes information on visas, funding, and cultural adjustments, providing valuable assistance to those considering an international experience.”
For example, last year, a young computer science graduate came to the show looking for an internship. Thanks to the contacts she made and the advice she received, she not only found an internship, but was also hired full-time by the company. She is now an accomplished web developer and is returning this year as an exhibitor to share her experience and inspire other young people.
As the convener, Shareemah Aazmeen Boolakee says her message to the audience is simple: “Your future is in your hands, and the Career and Learning Lounge is here to help you shape it. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to meet experts, ask questions, and explore all the options available to you. Don’t be afraid to dream big and take initiative to achieve your goals. We encourage you to participate, to attend the conferences. The Career and Learning Lounge is more than just a lounge; it is a transformative experience that can open new doors and help you achieve your ambitions.”
Admission to the Career and Learning Lounge is free and the venue is easily accessible by metro.
