On Friday July 5 and Saturday July 6, the organizers of the Career and Learning Lounge will meet you at the Caudan Arts Center, 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 residences in Canada, Australia and other countries. The fair will also feature several job postings across different sectors, providing a variety of opportunities for those looking to start or pivot their careers.
“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 popularity of the Career and Learning Lounge continues to grow, she says. “Participants, aware of the importance of choosing their educational and professional paths carefully, see this show as a unique opportunity to meet experts and explore concrete opportunities. » Exhibitors are enthusiastic about 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 maintains that visitors will discover international opportunities. “Visitors can learn about study programs and scholarships available in countries like Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and many more. Experts in international mobility will be on hand to provide advice on the steps to follow to study or work abroad. This includes information on visas, financing, 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 returns this year, as an exhibitor, to share her experience and inspire other young people.
As manager, Shareemah Aazmeen Boolakee says her message to the public 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 and attend the conferences. The Career and Learning Lounge is more than just a lounge; it’s a transformative experience that can open new doors and help you realize your ambitions. »
